I was surprised to see my “Approved” eForm 1s showed the submitted forms, not approved. Do they have your approved stamps archived for display, or do you only get the ones via email? Am I just looking in the wrong place?

Well I went to https://www.atf.gov/firearms/applications-eforms to login and see if I could find some of my approved eForms, but the login link at the bottom of that page went to this URL:

government IT LOL
Are these brace rule Form 1s? Those do not have stamps as they are not tax paid.
If you file electronically under your own user ID you will have access to all of your stamps. If you file by paper, or say Silencer Shop or someone files on your behalf, you will not have electronic access.
Ok, but where? These are paid stamps that I filed myself, but when I look in the Approved section of the dashboard they are the versions watermarked Submitted without any approvals.
To be sure, after you click on the +Approved, click on the Form 1 (5320.1) under it (highlighted below).
Their site sucks and the right pane doesn't update until you click sub-menu.

I’ll try again when I get home, but when I did that it showed the submitted watermarked applications. I might need to do it from a PC instead of my iPad.Quote:

When you say “shown with the Stamp.” Is just marked APPROVED over the page or is there some sort of specific stamp like with Duck stamps or some such? Some form of official artwork like a copy of an engraving. That’s what I think of when you say tax stamp.Quote:

Never mind! I think i found my answer. I presume this is what you get or something like it if you send in the paper form?Attachment 111298
This is the kind of thing I was expecting to see or get with my approval form.
Amnesty Form 1s don’t have a stamp. The stamp signifies you paid your $200 tax. Since that wasn’t required as part of the amnesty, there is no stamp.
Yeah,.. thanks for the 411. 😎. I had read that elsewhere. But I didn’t know if the electronic submissions just came with that “APPROVED” across the returned eform like my amnesty one did.Quote:
