eForm 4 Submission Package in Lubbock, TX
Every ATF eForm 4 needs two things from you: fingerprints and a passport-style photo. Our eForm 4 Submission Package handles both in one visit — we capture your prints electronically as an ATF-ready EFT file that uploads straight into eForms, and take your 2×2 photo to spec. No ink cards, no drugstore photo runs, no rejected submissions. Whether it’s your first suppressor or your tenth, we make the biometric side simple.
What's in the eForm 4 Submission Package
Two things the ATF requires for your Form 4 — done on-site and submission-ready:
- ✓Electronic fingerprinting — captured digitally and delivered as an ATF-ready EFT file (.eft) that uploads directly into eForms. Cleaner and more reliable than ink FD-258 cards.
- ✓Passport-style photos — the 2×2 photo your Form 4 requires, taken on-site to ATF specification.
- ✓One visit, submission-ready — everything the ATF needs for the biometric portion of your eForm 4, ready the same day.
How our eForm 4 fingerprinting & photo process works
Already have your EFT file and passport photo?
This package is completely optional. If you already have a current EFT file and a passport-style photo, bring them and we’ll use them at no extra charge. It’s here for the folks who’d rather knock out the fingerprints and photo in the same visit as their transfer — quick, correct, and one less errand.
Electronic fingerprinting for any eForm 4 — even if you buy elsewhere

eForm 4 fingerprinting & passport photo FAQs
What’s an EFT file, and why does electronic fingerprinting matter?
An EFT (Electronic Fingerprint Transmission) file is a digital version of your fingerprints that uploads directly into the ATF’s eForms system. It skips the ink FD-258 cards that smudge easily and are a common cause of rejected, delayed submissions — so your Form 4 starts clean.
Do I have to buy the package?
No — it’s optional. If you already have a current EFT file and a passport-style photo, bring them and we’ll use them for free. The package just saves you the extra trips if you don’t.
Can you do fingerprints and photos for a gun trust?
Yes. Each responsible person on the trust needs their own fingerprints and photo, so the package is priced per person. Bring everyone in and we’ll take care of all of them in one stop.
How long does it take?
Just a few minutes — easy to do in the same visit you start your suppressor or SBR transfer.
