Does Your .EFT File Need to Have Your Signature?

You're created .EFT File doesn't need to have a signature of official taking fingerprints in the "Signature of Official Taking Fingerprints" block. This isn't needed within the .EFT File like it is with a completed physical FD-258 fingerprint card. Having the "Signature of Official Taking Fingerprints" block blank within your .EFT File is normal and correct.
