CoreSTORE - FFL: How do customers fill out the 4473

How the customer accesses and completes Section B of ATF From 4473.


Log in to Kiosk

The customer will log into the kiosk by either scanning the QR code on their receipt or by manually entering the 4473 ID followed by their last name (no spaces).

For dealers that do not have a separate 4473 kiosk computer this log in screen can be accessed by selected Bound Book > Fill Out 4473 from the left hand column menu.

NOTE: There is an Bound Book Kiosk setting that, when enabled, will default to manual entry and have separate lines for last name and 4473 ID.

After entering their code the customer selects "Continue" to enter the data entry screens which are broken down into nine smaller, more manageable pages. After the customer completes each page they select "Next" in the lower right hand corner to advance to the next section. If the customer skips a required field, the system will block their passage to the next section.

The questions, information and instructions are exactly the same as on the current version of the ATF Form 4473.

Anywhere you see a green circle with an "i" in the center, the customer may click on that icon to access the specific instruction for that question.

Additional Information

The information collected in this section is optional.

There are setting that can be changed to make the Email and Phone required for store use, however, the Social Security Number will always remain optional.

Customers will only have a UPIN or AMD ID if they have been through an appeal process with NICS. Generally, they know that they have been issued one.

Signature

This is where the customer signs the form and will select "Finish" to complete their submission. The signature can be completed using a mouse, touch pad or touch screen depending on your device.

RECOMMENDATION: Always verify the signature as the signature box will accept small amounts of input as a signature when it is not a true legal signature.

Should a customer need to redo their signature, selecting "CLEAR SIGNATURE" will clear the signature box to sign again.
