So I recently moved and changed my address with the CFO. However, now I’ve found I made a mistake on the postal code. Ordinary I would just sign in to RCMP web services and change it, but I have 2 transfers in progress using the address (not yet approved). Do I need to get an ATT to change a few digits of my postal code even though I don’t even have any restricteds in hand yet? It would be great if I could just fix it online and be done with it, but given how much of a legal pain things can be I’m not 100% sure on this one

In terms of postal code all the information I have is this. I went in for my CFSC put the correct address wrong postal code. I did my 5592 with same address but actual postal code. Sent papers to rcmp Althea yesterday morning contacted cfo they didn’t answer so I emailed the situation they said RCMP doesn’t make a big deal out of that and they’ll most likely follow your ID or call to get the correct address/postal code. That’s all the info I have for postal code and RCMP not sure if this helps

Don’t know if changing it online with affect your transfers (but I doubt it, it’s not a complete change of address).

But I wanted to say ATT is authorization to transport. It’s a permit to physically move a restricted/prohibited firearm and has nothing to do with administratively updating your postal code.

If you were moving and changing your address, you would need an ATT to physically move them to your new residence.
