What’s an EFT File, and is it Important?
An EFT (Electronic Fingerprint Transmission) file is a digital fingerprint record for ATF eForms. It offers many advantages over traditional methods. These files enable faster processing by eliminating the need to mail physical cards while improving accuracy to minimize rejection risks. The digital format lets you store and reuse the fingerprints for future applications.
Our ATF fingerprinting services involve FBI-certified scanning equipment that captures high-quality digital fingerprints. This generates your EFT file immediately. This process saves time and reduces the stress often associated with paper fingerprint cards. The transition to digital fingerprinting shows the ATF’s move toward more efficient electronic submissions. This improves turnaround times for license approvals and firearm-related applications as well.

What’s the difference between ink cards and EFT files?
