I don’t recall the number of form that I filled out as it was several years ago, but it was one page. I suspect once you fill it out, they may contact you and ask a couple of questions. They should contact the seller to let them know when transfer is approved, I doubt they would mention anything about your collector application due to privacy laws. Once you do it the first time, any subsequent purchases should go through without any issues.
Yes, I would presume the first one would be the most difficult.
Here is the form in part:
