What we do
- Roll your fingerprints in ink on ATF-compliant FD-258 cards for every Responsible Person

What are ATF Fingerprint Cards?
ATF fingerprint cards are validation documents that are used by the US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to conduct background checks on individuals who wish to purchase firearms. The cards contain the individual's name, address, date of birth, Social Security number, and a set of their fingerprints. The EFT files & fingerprinted cards are then sent to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for a criminal background check. If the individual passes the background check, they will be issued a firearms license. However, if the individual has a criminal record, they will be denied a license. ATF fingerprinting cards & EFT file creation are an important part of the firearms online application and purchasing process in the United States.

Firearms Checks (NICS)
The National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), operated by the FBI, is used to screen individuals seeking to purchase firearms or explosives, ensuring they are legally eligible. When someone attempts to buy a firearm, the Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL) submits the buyer’s information collected via an ATF form to NICS either by phone or electronically. The system checks for criminal history, mental health disqualifications, and other legal barriers. Since 1998, over 500 million background checks have been performed, resulting in more than two million denials.
NICS is available by phone 17 hours a day, seven days a week (excluding Christmas), while the E-Check system operates 24/7. The FBI offers full service in 31 states, D.C., and five U.S. territories, with partial service in four additional states; the rest conduct their own checks using NICS data.
