Yes, with a few clicks on your computer or the Silencer Shop smartphone app, you can order a gun suppressor online. Getting your suppressor from Silencer Shop is as quick and easy. Are you wondering how long does it take to get a suppressor tax stamp? With Silencer Shop dealers, you can get a tax stamp easier than ever. Silencer Shop customers have received their tax stamps in just a few weeks. It's as easy as 6 simple steps:

Order your suppressor online at silencershop.com. Select your suppressor and add an NFA tax stamp to your shopping cart. What is an NFA tax stamp? A suppressor tax stamp is a $200 tax set forth by the ATF that is applied to the purchase of any item on the NFA registry. This is a one-time cost (unlike, for example, a car registration that must be renewed annually). On our website, you’ll also choose how you’d like to register: Trust, Individual, or Corporation. The most common way customers register is the Silencer Shop Single Shot Trust. It’s the most flexible trust: you can easily add different responsible parties/trustees. The Single Shot Trust is extremely cost-effective: it's the lowest-priced trust available. While checking out, you’ll also select a Powered By Silencer Shop dealer, which is the local gun shop that you’ll work with to submit your eForm 4 application to the ATF and ultimately go to when you pick up your silencer.

If you’re new to Silencer Shop, visit a Silencer Shop kiosk and in 5-minutes, your fingerprint scan and demographic information will be integrated into your Silencer Shop profile. Do you need fingerprints for suppressors? Yes, you’ll scan your fingerprints when you visit the kiosk. The visit to the kiosk only happens once and the information will be saved for your current and future orders. 

Snap a selfie (similar to a passport photo) on your smartphone and upload it to your Silencer Shop profile using the Silencer Shop app or send it by email (photo@silencershop.com) and we’ll gladly add it to your profile. When taking your photo, please use a plain/light-colored background and keep your shoulders and head up. Please do not smile, wear a hat, sunglasses, scarf, etc.

Silencer Shop will email a Docusign to you, please review and after confirming its accuracy, please sign the file. This applies to all registration methods: Trusts, Corporations and Individuals.  

Register for your ATF eForms account here. What is ATF eForm? eForms is the submission process for submitting your electronic Form 4 (“eForm 4”) to the ATF. There is no cost to create an ATF eForms account.

You’ll receive an email from Silencer Shop with the subject line “Ready To Certify.” What does Ready To Certify mean at Silencer Shop? This is the final stage of your eForm 4 application before it’s submitted to the ATF. When you receive the Ready To Certify email, you should contact the Powered By Silencer Shop dealer (their information will also be in the email you receive) to set an appointment to submit your application to the ATF (“eForm 4”). This can be done remotely if you register as a Trust or Corporation. If you register as an Individual, this will happen in person at the dealer’s place of business.

That’s it! You’re on your way to owning a suppressor. By working together, you’ll be tapping into the 99.5% accuracy rate of Silencer Shop’s Compliance team (the industry average is 60%). After your submission to the ATF, you’ll get an email that your eForm 4 is approved and at that time, you can get your item at your local dealer. It’s the easiest way to get a suppressor.
