To do list for obtaining NFA device.

For clarification, to e-file and obtain current speedy approvals you need electronic fingerprints, correct?

My local gun shop has a Silencer Shop Kiosk, and it makes things super simple. You do your finger prints on the kiosk and it saves them to your account. Once all your info is in there, all you have to do is update your picture every year that you want to buy a new suppressor. I also set up my trust through them Silencer Shop and it was super simple.

No. You can still send in paper fingerprint cards. Just keep in mind the mail might slow you down a few days but the approvals are still fast.

Even with mailed fingerprints, less than a week is not uncommon.

Are other NFA items moving as fast as the suppressors?

Are there ATF specific fingerprint cards that must be used?

Are there ATF specific fingerprint cards that must be used?

Yes. An Amazon search will yield many results.

Some local police dept still do paper fingerprints, they will usually do them for a few bucks.

He's not talking about sbr's.

 

[Aszerigan]

Are there ATF specific fingerprint cards that must be used?

Yes and no. As long as they're FD-258 fingerprint cards (which is the standard card for all PD/Sheriff/Jails in the US), then you'll be good.

 

[Aszerigan]

Yes. An Amazon search will yield many results.

I keep stacks of cards around too and will send them to whomever needs.

You can order them direct from ATF. I posted that info elsewhere, but let me grab it again. I got mine in just a few days from them for free.

Edit update: Fingerprint cards for NFA submission from ATF website. Says it could take 6-8 weeks to get them https://www.atf.gov/firearms/docs/form/fingerprint-card-instructions-and-example-fd-258

He asked about other NFA items...

 

[wabashman]

Guess I should be a better mind reader then? Last time I checked SBR's fell under 'other NFA' items that he inquired about.

 

[dieselrealtor]

Yes and no. As long as they're FD-258 fingerprint cards (which is the standard card for all PD/Sheriff/Jails in the US), then you'll be good.

I just found some in the envelope from DOJ when I inquired about becoming an FFL.

I presume these will work?

edit; just called Sheriff Dept & they said they have cards & I don't need an appt.

My local pd in Westfield did mine on paper. It was $5 per card so $10 total.
