Prior to making a firearm, the individual must submit ATF Form 1 (5320.1), Application to Make and Register a Firearm, to the Bureau of ATF, NFA Branch, and receive approval. Form must be submitted in duplicate.

The applicant is to place, on each copy of the form, a 2-inch by 2-inch photograph of the applicant taken within the past year (proofs, group photographs or photocopies are unacceptable). The applicant’s address must be a street address, not a post office box. If there is no street address, specific directions to the residence must be included.

If State or local law requires a permit or license to purchase, possess, or receive NFA firearms, a copy of the applicant’s permit or license must accompany the application. A check or money order for $200 shall be made payable to ATF by the applicant. All signatures on both copies must be in ink.

Fingerprints also must be submitted on FBI Form FD-258, in duplicate. Fingerprints must be taken by a person qualified to do so, and must be clear and classifiable. If wear or damage to the fingertips do not allow clear prints, and if the prints are taken by a law enforcement official, a statement on his or her official letterhead giving the reason why good prints are unobtainable should accompany the fingerprints.

Forward the original and a duplicate of the completed application and appropriate tax payment to the Bureau of ATF, National Firearms Act Branch, P.O. Box 530298, Atlanta, GA 30353-0298.

If the application is approved, the original of the form with the cancelled stamp affixed showing approval will be returned to the applicant. If the application is denied, the tax will be refunded. Applications to make a firearm will not be approved if Federal, State, or local law prohibits possession of the firearm.

I am a resident of Minneapolis. I am considering applying to Bureau of ATF to make a Short Barrel Rifle.
This would require me to submit Form 1, section 13 of which is "Law Enforcement Certification". (The form is attached)

What is the procedure for submitting this form and obtaining the certification?

Thank you

Sir,

You need to complete the form and bring or send it to this office; Police License Investigation Division, 350 South 5th Street, Rm. 1A, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55415.

First, we conduct research to determine if the weapon you want to make will be legal to possess in Minnesota under current State laws.

Second, if you possess a permit to purchase or a conceal carry permit in Minnesota and can show proof of the same then we conduct a brief recheck of your background to see that nothing has changed since the last background. Or, if you do not possess such permits, then we will have you complete in person a transfer/purchase application and then we will conduct a background check on you to determine your eligibility to legally possess firearms in Minnesota. This requires you to appear in person at our office. You will need current government issued picture ID showing you as a resident of Minneapolis. We will have you complete an application with various signatures to release information.

I hope this answers your questions.

Lt. Christopher Hildreth

Commander Police License Investigative Division.

I'm a little hazy on this, even after looking around. Do I call up any police station and ask or is there a central department I should go to?
