Do you Need to Sign your .EFT File?
When completing physical FD-258 fingerprint cards you will need to sign the fingerprint cards. But that isn't needed with an .EFT File. You won't be asked to provide a digital signature when you attend your .EFT File appointment if you are using our .EFT File Service. Instead the .EFT File will be validated when uploaded to your ATF eForm 1 or ATF eForm 4 application.
