+1. And save the filled out PDF form so that you only have to change the dates from year to year. I just sent off three new 5320.20's on Friday. Same locations that I do every year, but these are for 2 new NFA items.

I got turned down for this in the spring.......
depends on the examiner I suppose.
Interesting. By that logic, if I intend to go to VA for just the day, and return to my home that evening, do I submit a form at all? I agree that a year's form for the NRA HQ is a workable option, but wonder whether it's a technical requirement.

Yes, you would still need to submit 5320.20 as you are crossing state lines with a NFA items. The form permits the transport across state lines. That is why you can get a form that covers this type of transport for 1 year.

No one believes that the NFA makes sense but it what we have to follow to have our toys.
Fair point. Thanks for the info. Looks like I'll get in the practice of filling these out as a matter of course. Wondering if I should add in the cans.

No, cans don't require 5320.20. Only SBR, SBS, Machine guns.

Do I need to submit 5320.20 if I've moved within the state the NFA items are registered? I have four stamps registered to three different addresses. Never seemed to have a problem acquiring new stamps despite the differences in addresses of the previous toy
that's kinda funny given the wording of title of the form and the specific instructions on the Form 1 and 4 about notifying in writing. There is no instruction to submit a 5320.20 for an address change on either of those forms.
Nor is there an instruction to submit a 5320.20 for an address change unless you are moving out of state as well and moving the NFA item. BATFE is screwed up. Even perhaps FUBAR

ATF.gov says 5320.20 is for interstate not intrastate travel. I'll call them and verify but I don't believe u need to fill out form 20 if u simply moved within the state

Mailed 9/25 and received 10/12.
Now if they could just nudge my pending form 1's along!

Exactly. Address changes including interstate are supposed to be sent in writing as outlined in the Form 1 and Form 4 instructions. A permanent interstate address change would require both according to BATF's own rules. Like many large organizations, a lack of familiarity with their own regs seem more the norm these days.

Spoke with Kelly, I believe, and she said that form 20 is not required if you move in state. Said it is recommended in case you ever lose your originals and need replacements, but definitely not required.

Just received approvals for a couple Form 20's that had the phrase "Any location within state" in the destination address (Virginia gun range). I realize this maybe over-doing-it to some degree, but it will definitely help in-case of some over zealot LEO. The approver was Terry Whittington Jr.
