Create Acquisition/Disposition Records

What are Acquisition/Disposition records?

Federal firearms licensees and importers are required to keep detailed records of the acquisition and disposition of firearms. These records must be maintained in a timely fashion in a bound book or, with ATF approval, in computerized form. For more information about the ATF's specific requirements, contact your local ATF field division or visit www.atf.gov.

When to use this procedure
