Who needs this?
You need this if you’re applying for an FFL, or are a responsible person on one. Bring your ATF Form 7 / 7CR so we can print each responsible person listed.
FFL applications are typically filed on paper with mailed FD-258 cards; ask us if your submission accepts an electronic file.
How it works
- Call or text 847-436-5222 before you come in. Walk-ins are welcome, but because we also run mobile appointments, a quick call makes sure someone is at our Naperville location when you arrive.
- Bring your valid, unexpired Driver’s license and your ATF Form 7 / 7CR paperwork so we can print every responsible person listed.
- We roll an FD-258 fingerprint card for each responsible person on the application. If your submission accepts an electronic file, we can provide an EFT instead — just ask.
- You mail the FD-258 card(s) with your ATF Form 7 / 7CR. Efficient Biometrics completes the cards; we don’t file your application.
After your prints are done
Efficient Biometrics captures your fingerprints and provides your EFT file and/or FD-258 cards. We do not file your application or receive your background-check results — the ATF or the issuing agency handles that.
