How do I get my fingerprints taken?
Getting your fingerprint cards are required for all responsible parties in your gun trust. This includes the settlor and co-trustees, or any other party that is an active member in that gun trust. Depending on where you live, the location for getting finger prints will vary. There are fingerprint services that you can search for via google or call your local police department to see if they administer finger print card services. You are also able to fingerprint yourself with our FD-258 Fingerprint Card Kit or use our .EFT File Fingerprint Creation service.
For NFA applications the fingerprint cards should contain the following ORI information: WVATF0800, ATF-NATL TRA CTR, MARTINSBURG, WV or WVATF0900, ATF-NATL TRA CTR, MARTINSBURG, WV.
For other ATF applications the following applies. Per the ATF "Fingerprints must be submitted on Fingerprint Identification Cards, FD–258 that have been issued by ATF. The fingerprint cards should contain the following ORI information: WVATF0900; ATF–NATL EXPL LIC, MARTINSBURG WV. These fingerprint cards may be obtained by contacting the Federal Explosives Licensing Center at 877-283-3352 or the ATF Distribution Center at 703-870-7526 or 703-870-7528. The fingerprint cards must be completed by your local law enforcement authority. Source ATF, "How do I get my fingerprints taken?"."
