What Is an ATF EFT File?
An EFT file is a digital fingerprint file used for ATF eForms submissions. Instead of mailing traditional FD-258 fingerprint cards, applicants can upload their EFT file electronically during the ATF submission process.
This modern process helps streamline submissions for:
- Form 1 applications
- Form 4 transfers
- Suppressors
- Silencers
- Short-barreled rifles (SBRs)
- Other NFA-regulated items
Our team helps ensure your EFT file is professionally captured, properly formatted, and ready for upload.
Same-Day ATF EFT File Delivery
One of the biggest frustrations for firearm enthusiasts and NFA applicants is waiting days or weeks for fingerprint processing. At Fingerprinting Solutions Plus, we provide same-day EFT file delivery in most cases.
After your appointment:
- Your EFT fingerprint file is emailed securely
- Your cropped ATF-ready digital photo is emailed separately
- Your files are ready for ATF eForms upload
- Your EFT file may be reused for future submissions unless ATF requirements or your biometrics change
This streamlined process helps save time, reduce stress, and avoid unnecessary delays.
ATF-Ready Digital Photo Included
Many ATF applicants are surprised to learn that a compliant digital photo is also required during the eForms submission process.
During your appointment, we assist with capturing a professional ATF-ready digital photo using a simple and convenient setup directly at our office. No complicated studio equipment or outside appointments are necessary.
Our team helps ensure:
Proper photo positioning
