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 submissions 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 forms to bring — we handle everything in-office.
3
Complete the FD-258 submissions to ATF specifications
We capture your prints using traditional ink on standard FD-258 forms and fill in all required applicant identifier fields — name, date of birth, reason fingerprinted, and ORI number where applicable.
4
Every submission reviewed before you leave
Before you walk out the door, we review each submission for ridge clarity and legibility. If a form needs to be redone, we do it on the spot — before your appointment is considered complete.
5
Fingerprints in hand — ready to submit
You leave with your completed FD-258 submissions, ready to include with your ATF application package. Submit directly to the ATF or through your dealer or attorney as required by your form.
What to Bring
  • Valid government-issued photo IDDriver's license, state ID, or U.S. passport — must be unexpired
