    I just got my 03FFL in the mail last night but they misspelled my address. They changed the A to an O and I looked back at my copies of the original paperwork and I definitely didn’t misspell it.

    My question is: does this matter or do I need to contact ATF and have it fixed before I can use it?

    If you intend to use it to have firearms shipped to your address, yes, you should definitely have it changed, and do that before you send out copies.

    FFL 01s are already reluctant to deal with C&R holders.

    I would have them correct it. You don't want some seller to notice it and they decide not to ship because the address isn't "correct"

    You paid $30 just like everyone else no need to accept subpar work!

    Call the licensing center on Needy Rd. in Martinsburg, WV. Inform them of their mistake and let them know that you need the address corrected. They'll point you in the right direction of the form(s) you need to use to take care of it.

    The "kit" is the giant packet of information that arrived either before or after your FFL with all the regs and whatnot. There should be a change of address form in it.

    Ohh ok, I haven’t received that packet, maybe it will be here in a couple days.

    My packet arrived several weeks after my license and was missing a few items (they included a sheet that told me what was missing). I believe the change of address form was included.

    It's not really a change of address though, it's fixing a typo. As mentioned above a few times, go to the source and contact the licensing folks. I'd do like euler suggested and email them first.
