AI Fingerprinting provides professional ATF fingerprinting services in the state of Washington to obtain Federal Firearms Licenses (FFL) or complete National Firearms Act (NFA) purchases quickly and efficiently. Let us leverage our technology to streamline your ATF documentation process with secure, accurate Electronic Fingerprint Files (EFT).
ATF fingerprint documentation is a mandatory part of the application process used by the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to conduct background checks on individuals seeking to purchase or manufacture regulated firearms. This process historically used physical fingerprint cards (FD-258), but is now rapidly shifting to the digital standard: the Electronic Fingerprint Transmission (EFT) file.
The EFT file is a digital record that contains the applicant’s biographical data and high-quality, electronically captured fingerprints. This digital file is submitted directly to the ATF via the eForms system for a criminal background check by the FBI. Utilizing an EFT file dramatically speeds up the application process for items like silencers, short-barreled rifles (SBRs), and machine guns, ensuring compliance with NFA regulations.

To successfully create your compliant EFT file for a Federal Firearms License or NFA purchase, you are required to provide the following accurate information to the Live Scan Technician at AI Fingerprinting:
Our advanced ATF-compliant Live Scan software is specifically designed to electronically capture your high-resolution fingerprints, accurately enter all required demographic data, and instantly create the secure, required EFT file. We also scan the necessary photographs and digital signatures, both of which are required for seamless upload onto the ATF eForms system. This ensures you have all the necessary digital assets to complete your application with the highest chance of first-time acceptance.
The National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), managed by the FBI, is used to screen individuals purchasing firearms, ensuring they are legally eligible. When someone attempts to buy a firearm, the Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL) submits the buyer’s information to NICS. The system checks for criminal history, mental health disqualifications, and other legal barriers. NICS has processed over 500 million background checks since 1998, resulting in millions of transaction denials.
NICS is a crucial regulatory tool. Need assistance preparing for your background check? At AI Fingerprinting, we offer fast, secure, and professional EFT file creation to support your firearm purchase or license application process. Book your Live Scan appointment online today and make your part of the background check process hassle-free.

Bring a valid state or federally-issued identification (such as a Driver’s License or Passport). You should also have the accurate biographical information required for the ATF form ready for the technician.

While the EFT file itself doesn’t have an expiration date, it must be submitted to the ATF with the corresponding eForm application. It is critical to ensure your eForm is submitted promptly after creating the EFT file to comply with regulatory timelines related to your purchase or application.
No, you cannot create your own ATF EFT file. The EFT file requires specialized, certified Live Scan equipment and software that is calibrated to meet strict FBI and ATF standards. The file is typically created by an authorized fingerprinting service like AI Fingerprinting during the Live Scan process.
