Benefits of Using an .EFT File

When applying for a tax stamp with the ATF, yourself and any named co-trustees will need to submit fingerprint cards to the ATF. When using the ATF eForms site, which tends to lead to faster approval times for applicants, you have the option to send your fingerprints electronically. Submitting your fingerprints to the ATF electronically will speed up your approval time. You won't need to physically mail the FD-258 fingerprint cards to the ATF, wait for them to be delivered and accepted by the ATF, and then passed to the FBI to be processed. The .EFT File can be uploaded in lieu of having to mail in the physical fingerprint cards to the ATF. The .EFT File, also doesn't expire like passport photos do. That means, you can use the .EFT File for as many tax stamp applications as you want. The only potential issue is if you need to update the information within the .EFT File. If any information, minus your fingerprints themselves, changes you can update your .EFT File.  That is a simple process and we can help you with that here - .EFT File Change Service.  In summation, the .EFT File will lead to faster approval times when applying using the ATF eForm's site and can be used for multiple tax stamp applications.
