Bill in Bama Posted April 15, 2022 Report Share Posted April 15, 2022 I'm doing my first e-file Form 4, I expected a steep learning curve, but everything has gone pretty smoothly except I cannot figure how to scan fingerprint cards into an EFT format that NFA Branch requires. Can someone point me where I can get this handled? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan Posted April 15, 2022 Report Share Posted April 15, 2022 My understanding is that you have to use a specific machine and it is not something you can do with a normal scanner. I found a UPS store that had a scanner that worked. I think it was $40 and I got an email with the file same day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill in Bama Posted April 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2022 I'll check with my UPS store, but I'm not very confident they can do it. I'm trying to figure how to complete the efile process without attaching the prints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumpy Posted April 15, 2022 Report Share Posted April 15, 2022 (edited) After you submit the efile it will have a page you print off with the address to send your prints and photos too. At least that’s how every one I know has been doing them. You have up to 10 days after you filed to send them.

Can someone point me where I can get this handled? you need to search for local fingerprinting services (mayeb the ups store can, my local one wont), than can provide a .eft file. Most do not offer this as the sotfware is 5k. Even if they has the electronic scanner they still need the software. you simple cannot can a FP card into a eft. just send int he paper prints, all my F4s have been less than 90 days.
