FD-258 to EFT Conversion
Lakota provides an affordable service ($30/card) to help you convert paper fingerprint cards (FD-258) to the electronic fingerprint transmission (EFT) file type. Our software was built out of the experience our engineers gained from developing the FBI, Dept. of Defense, and Dept. of Homeland Security biometric databases. These agencies also use our exact application to convert the files (Whorl) for their everyday biometric processes. Not only that, the FBI and DoD also use our Ani SDK (the backbone behind our Whorl application) to check every biometric file submission coming in and every response file going out for compliance against their respective biometric specifications. No other company offering card conversion services has the experience and knowledge we have gained!
You will need a scanned PNG copy (at 600 dpi) of your fingerprint card to get started.
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.
