The Federal Firearms Licensing
Center (FFLC)Multiple Trade Name Policy
ATF has recently clarified its trade name policy to allow a single legal entity to maintain several different trade names.
• The current database limitations of the trade name field of the Federal Licensing System (FLS) cannot exceed fifty characters.
• A legal entity must still obtain proper Federal Firearms licenses for each facility it maintains. For example, if your company has three manufacturing facilities, your company will need a manufacturing FFL at each location. If you manufacture and import, you will still need a Type 07-Manufacturer and Type 08-Importers license to be properly licensed.

Multiple Trade Name Policy
When marking firearms, it is important to remember that manufacturers and importers having licensed operations at one location under multiple trade names are still required to issue unique serial numbers when marking firearms pursuant to 27 CFR 478.92. For example, serial numbers and serial number schemes applied to firearms made or imported under trade name A must not duplicate serial numbers applied to firearms made or imported under trade names B, C, or D.
