Does Notarizing your Gun Trust Online Speed up Approvals?
Having your gun trust notarized online using our online notary service or other online notary services, does not speed up or slow down the approval of your tax stamp application.
However, having the gun trust notarized online can speed up the execution of your gun trust. Your gun trust will need to be notarized, signed and dated before you can use it in conjunction with your tax stamp applications. This means sometimes it can be hard meeting up with a co-trustee, finding a witness perhaps, or having a co-trustee who is out of state complete their page within the gun trust. Online notarizing the gun trust can speed that process up, since the notary service is available 24x7 and the online notary service doesn't require co-trustees to be in the same location. But it won't speed up the approval process with the ATF when applying for a tax stamp.
