Creating EFT fingerprint files for ATF eForm 1 and eForm 4 applications has never been easier!

If you’re an FFL gun dealer handling NFA transactions, the ATF is now accepting electronic fingerprints for both Form 1 and Form 4 applications. To submit electronic fingerprints, you will need specialized software to create EFTs that are compliant with AFT and FBI specifications. Lakota Software Solutions has the software tools you need to create these files! Head over to our new site, EFTCreator.com, to order a fingerprint scanner and start creating EFT files today.

If you’re looking for an easy way to convert an FD-258 card to an EFT file, we provide that service, too. Our fee is $30, and we aim to convert it on the same day. All we need is a scanned PNG copy (at 600 dpi) of your fingerprint card.

Then, you can head over to EFTCreator.com to create an account and sign up for either a Fingerprint Card Conversion subscription plan or purchase Card Conversion Credits.

Fingerprint Card Conversion Subscription

Plan is billed on a 30-day billing cycle based on the volume of card conversions performed within the billing period. This plan offers volume discounts where the more you do, the more you save. You will pay nothing if you do not perform any card conversion within the billing period.

Volume Discounts:

1 – $30.00/conversion
2-5 – $28.50/conversion
6-10 – $27.00/conversion
11-25 – $25.00/conversion
26-50 – $23.00/conversion
51+ – $20/conversion

Card Conversion Credits

Credits are pre-purchased at $30.00/each and can be used to perform a card conversion. Visit the Products page after logging in to EFTCreator.com to purchase credits. After you subscribe to a plan or purchase credits, click on the ATF Card Conversion button and:

1. Enter the descriptive information
2. Scan the card to a PNG file at 500dpi or higher
3. Upload the scanned image in the Documents tab
4. Click the Submit Conversion button

Upon submission, one of our analysts will perform the conversion, and you will get a notification via email when it is complete. You will then need to log back into your EFTCreator account, where you can download the converted EFT file from the Transactions page.
