NFA Approval after January 1

[AZ Gator]

Friend of mine just got the call from his FFL that his cans were approved. Email from the ATF to the dealer said they were no longer sending notification emails to the purchaser since the $200 tax stamp went away. Said it was on the FFL to notify the buyer of their approval.

I submitted two form 4's for a single shot trust to be transferred to a NFA trust on 1/1 and they were disapproved on 1/3 for a signature issue on the RPQ. Bought a new can through SS shop on 1/5 and resubmitted the denials the same date. Got approval for the new can on 1/28 (SS trust), still waiting on the other 1/5 resubmissions.

Bought another can and certified on 1/8 (NFA trust). Got the disapproval yesterday due to my name on the application not matching the name on the RPQ. The application had my full middle name and the RPQ just my middle initial, dealer and I both missed this. So resubmitted that one yesterday as well as the last can I bought on a SS shot trust and to move it to the NFA trust.

Waiting on another new can that was certified on 1/16. Other than the two that were quickly denied, from what I am seeing 3-4 weeks for approvals.

If the ones from 1/5 hit the 60-day mark, I'll call the ATF to see what is going on. Not too concerned about those one since they are in my possession and just moving them to a trust.

Exactly, those emails cost too much money for them I guess. Typical government response pretty much.

Talked to the shop today, mine was approved earlier this week, nada from the ATF. Wouldn't have known if I hadn't called.

Same, no email, eforms not updated either. Dealer called me.

ATF seems to be holding steady at 2-3 weeks for approvals.

That is probably quite a bit better than the doomsday predictions were expecting, so I’m happy to see that. Hopefully it will start sliding back to a couple days for approvals over the next month or two.

Got mine Submitted today and is in process.
I screwed up and didnt get my last name put in right on the eForm and it keep giving an error.
But it is finally submitted. Now the wait begins

ATF might be fast, but silencershop has had my suppressors “in review” since Dec 30th roughly, that I had purchased in Sept 2025. So going on 6 weeks just for SS to process them and I can’t even talk to an actual person on the phone. Just have to leave a spot in line then never get a call back

You purchased a suppressor in September, but didn't complete the SilencerShop portion of the submission until December 30th?

Did you pay for a tax stamp for the suppressor you purchased in September or did you hold submission until Jan 1? I think ATF stopped accepting submissions a week or so prior to Jan 1, I wonder if yours is just lost in the shuffle. All of my SS review's have been completed usually within 24-48 hours.

Can you go to your local SS dealer and have them bump them on the status?
