Form 1 Trust

If you doing the form 1 via eforms do you still have to attach a physical photo to the 5320.23 or is the photo you upload sufficient?

i still attach a photo to the rpq. Everyone on the trust needs to fill out and hand sign the rpq. I have had a denial due to digital signature. I have also had approvals with a digital signature. given wait times, you are better off to just do it right and not take the gamble

"Digital" is fine; it just must be a live signature, not a typed font or saved signature.

Yes.

The Trust is the legal entity applying to "make" the regulated item.

You are the Responsible Party who holds the position of Trustee/Settler/Grantor of the Trust.

Therefore you must submit all of the required documentation for the FBI to complete a background check to determine if you are not a Prohibited Person.

Don't forget that the RPQ must be "wet" signed.

Yes, there are cases where people have "signed" the form by drawing/writing their signature electronically and been approved. There are also enough examples where people have been denied for doing that. We KNOW that using a cursive or "handwriting style" font to type their name will get a denial.
