When I send in the form 1 with the copy of my Trust, do I have to have the copy newly notarized with a raised embossed seal, or is just a photocopy of the original notorized trust okay?
Photocopy only
What you send, you will not get back.
I'm confused, if your doing a Form 1, you shouldn't be using a FFL. BTW, I sent in a photocopy of my embossed form.
Noataries DO NOT need to even use an embossed seal. As a matter of fact, most I have talked too prefer the embossed seal, UNLESS they know the document will need to be photocopied repeatedly, in which case they just use their ink stamp so it'll be easier to see. That or they tell you to lightly run a pencil over the embossing so it'll show better on the copy.
Maybe that was the issue? It didn't show up real well on the copy?
The FFl who I'm purchasing the suppressor from was telling me how to do the form 1 and send it in to the ATF. He said that the copy of the trust needed to be also notarized with an embossed seal.
As stated before, the copy of the trust you send in with your forms DOES NOT need to be embossed. It only needs to be visible/readable notarization. If it is stamped then you're good, if it's embossed, you can either lightly hit the embossed seal with a pencil lead and then photocopy it so it shows OR get it re-embossed.
Only one Trustee needs to sign the form. While I've done two NFA forms on MY Trust, when I got the Trust and that first form, I lead a "Trust/Form 4 party" and coordinated the Trusts through the lawyer, and held everyone's hands through the form process, so I guess you could say, I've gotten 6 forms through the process.
If you're buying a can from an FFL, it should be on a form 4, not a Form 1, unless YOU are building the can.
