NFA Gun Trust Notarization

WHAT TO BRING

  • Valid government-issued photo ID (driver's license or passport)
  • Completed NFA Gun Trust document (unsigned — sign in front of notary)
  • All trustees present if signing simultaneously

IMPORTANT NOTE

Gunslinger's Guns provides notary services only — we do not draft NFA Gun Trust documents. We strongly recommend consulting with a firearms attorney or using a reputable online NFA trust service like National Gun Trusts to prepare your trust document.

Do not sign your trust document before your appointment — the notary must witness your signature in person for the notarization to be valid.

WHAT IS AN NFA GUN TRUST?

An NFA Gun Trust is a legal document that holds ownership of NFA-regulated items — suppressors, short-barreled rifles (SBRs), short-barreled shotguns (SBSs), and machine guns. Rather than registering an NFA item in your individual name, the trust becomes the legal owner.

This provides significant advantages for NFA owners in Maryland and across the country, including the ability to name multiple trustees who can legally possess and use the items, and simplified estate planning when transferring items to heirs.

Most NFA gun trust documents in Maryland must be signed, dated, and notarized according to the trust's instructions before they are used for an ATF Form 1 or Form 4 application. Gunslinger's Guns provides on-site notary services so you can handle everything in one visit.

BENEFITS OF A GUN TRUST

  • Multiple trustees can legally possess and use NFA items
  • Simplifies transfer of NFA items to heirs
  • Protects against accidental NFA violations
  • Can be updated to add or remove trustees
  • Works for suppressors, SBRs, SBSs, and machine guns

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is an NFA Gun Trust?+
An NFA Gun Trust is a legal entity that holds ownership of NFA-regulated items such as suppressors, short-barreled rifles (SBRs), short-barreled shotguns (SBSs), and machine guns. A trust allows multiple trustees to legally possess and use the NFA items, and simplifies the transfer of those items to beneficiaries upon death.
Why use a trust instead of individual ownership?+
A trust allows multiple people (co-trustees) to legally possess and use your NFA items — not just the registered owner. It also eliminates the need for a Chief Law Enforcement Officer (CLEO) signature on Form 1 and Form 4 applications, and makes estate planning for NFA items much simpler.
Do I need a notary for my NFA Gun Trust?+
Yes. In Maryland, NFA Gun Trust documents must be notarized to be legally valid. Gunslinger's Guns provides notary services on-site so you can complete your trust and begin your ATF application in one visit.
Where can I get an NFA Trust?+
We strongly recommend consulting with a firearms attorney or using a reputable NFA trust service like National Gun Trusts to prepare your trust document before your appointment.
What do I need to bring?+
Bring a valid government-issued photo ID (driver's license or passport) and your completed NFA Gun Trust document. If you need help preparing your trust document, we recommend consulting with an attorney prior to your appointment.
