Last Name field edits may impact the customer record

If an edit is made to the Last Name field on the Name & SSN screen in the Form 4473 application and the field does not contain a blank space, the change will be reflected in the customer record in the Register and Data Center applications. (If the field does contain a blank space, the system will not update the customer record and the user will need to manually update the record as needed.)

Frame Frame

Note: Previously, the system did not update the Bound Book with the change(s).

NICS Transaction Number and Transaction Serial Number field entries for a layaway firearm update Bound Book entries

An entry made in the NICS Transaction Number and/or Transaction Serial Number field in the Form 4473 application for a firearm on layaway will be added to the corresponding firearm entry in the appropriate Bound Book.
