ATF Fingerprinting

A.  ATF eForms 1 and eForms 4 support EFT submissions. For all other forms, fingerprint cards are required. Please note that your EFT file is valid exclusively for forms 1 and 4. 

A.  Your privacy is paramount. Gazda Identity services ensures that fingerprint cards and fingerprint images are not retained beyond 30 calendar days post-receipt or upon the successful execution of the transaction, whichever timeframe is shorter. All fingerprint data is meticulously destroyed/deleted, adhering strictly to the FBI CJIS Security Policy. 

A.  Once your fingerprint appointment is complete, you won't be able to view the EFT file. Your next step is to provide the EFT file to your FFL dealer.

• Do NOT download the file to your cell phone, as it won't work.

• DO ensure you download your file to a trusted computer as soon as you access it.
• DO send a copy of the EFT file to your local FFL dealer for uploading.
