What to Expect

The ATF Fingerprinting Process

Most ATF fingerprinting appointments take 15–20 minutes. Here's exactly what happens.

1

Call ahead to confirm your form type

We recommend calling (816) 442-0295 before your appointment to confirm which ATF form you're filing — Form 1, Form 4, Form 5, or FFL Form 23. This ensures we prepare the cards correctly from the start.
2

Arrive with your ID and form information

Bring a valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID and any instructions or form numbers provided to you by the ATF or your attorney. No ink-stained cards to bring — we handle everything in-office.
3

Complete the FD-258 cards to ATF specifications

We capture your prints using traditional ink on standard FD-258 cards and fill in all required applicant identifier fields — name, date of birth, reason fingerprinted, and ORI number where applicable.
4

Every card reviewed before you leave

Before you walk out the door, we review each card for ridge clarity and legibility. If a card needs to be redone, we do it on the spot — before your appointment is considered complete.
5

Cards in hand — ready to submit

You leave with your completed FD-258 cards, ready to include with your ATF application package. Submit directly to the ATF or through your dealer or attorney as required by your form.
