Kaiser ben, what's a NFA firearm? I don't know that one. I am not familiar with BATFE paperwork. I will be in Texas and Arkansas.
NFA-National Firearms Act I presume. Do you mean one bought with an ATF form 4 paperwork?
A silencer is listed as an NFA firearm which must be registered and the paperwork carried. The Bureau of Al, Tab, firearms and exp BATFE should have originally issued the paperwork IIRC.

Q: Does the owner of a registered NFA firearm have to have any evidence to show it is registered lawfully to him or her?

Yes. The approved application received from ATF serves as evidence of registration of the NFA firearm in the owner’s name. This document must be kept available for inspection by ATF officers. It is suggested that a photocopy of the approved application be carried by the owner when the weapon is being transported.
