The ATF 5320.1, ATF 5320.4, ATF 5320.5 and the ATF 5320.23 paperwork have different passport photo requirements for the ATF applications.  This can be confusing because the ATF paperwork has different passport photo quantities depending on how you are applying for your ATF tax stamp.  We break down the passport photo requirements down below:
