I’m submitting my application for an SBR which will be my first stamp & have questions.
The ATF eForms is down. So my question is do I wait for it to come back up or do I go ahead and submit paper?
Any tips tricks or assistance dealing with a first time submission would be helpful.

Good tutorial

I filed for another SBR recently, stamp received. Site was down a few times, waited til back up to file.

Don’t go paper unless you want to wait months longer. The eforms site goes up and down a lot, and is always down for maintenance on Wednesday, but it’s worth it going eFile vs. paper. Just keep trying. It usually isn’t down that long.

It goes down a lot, wait till its back up.

I really need to get my butt moving and SBR my PAP M85, all these form 1 questions might be enough to get motivated.

ATF eForms website is up, as of this moment. I just logged in.

eForms... By far the quickest (although it is never a quick process).

You doing this under a trust or as an individual?

Lots of pluses still with doing a trust.

So why does it keep kicking me back to this even though I’ve put in 6 different attempts that meant the parameters of the password?
Anyone else gave issues like that ?

Not sure Grumpy...

You didn't already have an account that you may have forgotten about, would you? Did you try recovering your password? May be worth a shot.

I use LastPass to setup/generate all of my passwords. Random jumbling of all of the required character types. I usually tell LastPass to generate a 16 character password.

What device and browser are you using ??

iPhone 11Promax & Yahoo
I’ve never used anything ATF related or previously set anything up.

I’ll try at home on WiFi.

Are you sure you're selecting a 'special character' from the 'approved list' of special characters?

Password Rant - I find it frustrating that every website/entity uses a different set of 'rules' as to what defines an acceptable password! I find it VERY frustrating that every entity that also requires a special character in the password uses a different subset of the universal set of 'special characters' on the keyboard!

Thank you, that was it!
I used a “-“ and that wasn’t in the list.
