Does the ATF Send you the ATF eForm 1 for an Individual Applicant to Send to the CLEO?

When you apply for a tax stamp you will need to send the CLEO copies of the ATF eForm 1 to the CLEO and the CLEO copies of the ATF 5320.23 (if applying with a gun trust).  Individual applicants will only need to upload their passport photos to the application when applying and perhaps a photo of the firearm, if making an SBR, AOW, etc.  The ATF will you the submitted ATF eForm 1 to your account email address after you have submitted the application.  You can simply open the ATF eForm 1attachment to print out the CLEO copies and mail the CLEO copies to your CLEO.
