Blank ATF eForm 1 Cover Letter & Valid ATF eForm 1 Cover Letter

If you are missing your ATF eForm 1 cover letter to submit your fingerprint cards to the ATF, you can use our guide - How to Find a Missing Cover Letter on the ATF's eForm Website, to find the cover letter from your application.  However, there is a difference between a blank cover letter and a valid cover letter.  You can go back into your eForm 1 application to view your cover sheet.  But if the cover sheet is blank, this means that your application is still pending research or there is an issue with your application.  If the later is true, you can use the "Ask the Experts" feature to request the cover letter.  Below we show the side by side comparison of how a blank cover sheet appears versus a valid cover sheet. Full Resolution Examples can be also viewed below by clicking the links.
