gremlinx 20 Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Can my local (very small) town Chief of Police sign off on my form 1? Or does it need to be the sheriff of the county? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
American Specialty Ammo 4 Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Any CLEO can sign off on your form. It doesnt matter how small your town or the police dept is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spelled out Road, etc, but put 2 letter state abbreviate... Anybody else have this ? not on my form 1, but on my Curious and relics license form I got everything right except the exp. date of my debit card and they sent it back. after further study into what guns apply to the C&R, I just decided to forget it.

MCASgt New River 10,036 Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 From my personal expirience a PD Chief can not sign, had it kick back, it HAS TO BE the Sheriff of the county in which you live. Of course were talking about the ATF who has probably changes their minds about 68x during the typing of this post. Respectfully, MCASSgt New River Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kevin.rose0@gmail.com 62 Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 (edited) From the ATF NFA handbook, page 36. 6.2.4 Law enforcement certification. As provided by the regulations, the law enforcement certification located on the back of Form 1 must be completed and signed by the local chief of police or county sheriff, the head of the State police, the State or local district attorney or prosecutor, "or such other person whose certificate may in a particular case be acceptable to the Director."97 Examples of certifying officials, other than those specifically mentioned in the regulations, who have been found to be acceptable are State attorneys general, heads of district State police offices and certain State court judges. Judges' certifications have been accepted if the judges preside over courts of general jurisdiction having original jurisdiction in all civil and criminal cases or the authority to conduct criminal jury trials in felony cases. Generally, State magistrates and constables do not have such authority. NOTE: no official's certification will be accepted unless the official has jurisdiction over the place where the applicant resides. This doesn't mean that particular NFA branch inspector won't give you a hassle, as mentioned above in the previous post, but this is what the ATF's official position is.
