Someone in another thread used the UPS store in Manchester.
You have to set up an appointment and costs $65 ish. See here for one of the services: https://www.ar15.com/forums/armory/Just-Used-PrintScan-Figured-I-would-Share-Info-Opinion-and-Pose-A-Few-Questions/17-541496/? |

Depending on the purpose of the prints, be aware that sometimes you must have it done by a LEO instead of some random person/location (FL gun licenses are like that). Check your local PD, Sheriff's office, surrounding area PDs, etc. Some will do it for free, others may charge a nominal fee (I've never heard of one charging more than $25). |

The e-prints have a convenience factor built in for some folks who deal with ATF eforms. I was thinking about playing the free SBR game, but I probably won't. |

I had it done in Chelmsford, MA but they have two locations in NH, Nashua and Manchester.

You're thinking of plain paper fingerprints, not electronic ones that provide an .eft file for electronic filing purposes. $65 is about the going rate. |

Previously, I needed prints for FL but my old MA PD (where I retired from) only did ink and didn't charge for them. Up here in NH, my Wife and I took the citizen's police academy (laws are very different in NH vs. MA, thank goodness) and they did electronic but since it was for them, there was no charge. No idea if they normally would charge or if they would do them for NRs. |

A one time fee of $65 isn't bad for eliminating the need for fingerprint cards if you buy or make NFA stuff. Now with e-forms you can do everything online if you have your prints on an eft file. Otherwise you would still need to mail two complete cards every time you submit a Form 1 or Form 4 online and hope ATF puts them with your e-form properly.

What is the "system". Do these places Email them to you and you forward the PDF to BATFE?
I have no idea when I'll see my Chief next, as my Wife just got out of the hospital with a very serious condition that will keep us home-bound except for medical appointments for now. But if I remember when I see him next, I'll ask what they would do, what they would charge, and if they do it for NRs. |

If you're dealing with ATF, it should give you the option of uploading that file. From my understanding, common people software won't be able to open the file to view/print. If it's anything like when i was fingerprinted in Indiana for a lifetime permit, it is just the standard digital print scanner. The state of Indiana would set you up with an appointment with one of the many commercial fingerprinting services there. |

The print place creates the eft file and emails you a link to go download it to your computer after your appointment. They say not to download it to a phone or it might not work.
When you are filling out a Form 1 or 4 through e-forms you have the option to upload your eft file from your computer or tell them that you will be mailing the fingerprint cards. I think there is a 10 day limit for mailing. If ATF hasn't received the cards by then the form is rejected. I haven't downloaded and installed an eft viewer yet to try to look at the prints. It is not a pdf. |
