Zero ink. Zero smudges. Zero rejected prints. Serving Horace, Fargo, West Fargo, Moorhead, and the greater Fargo-Moorhead area.
EFT Fingerprinting — ATF NFA Applications
Electronic Fingerprint Transmission (EFT) is the ATF's required digital fingerprint format for all NFA applications submitted through ATF eForms. If you're purchasing a suppressor, building an SBR on a Form 1, or filing any Form 4 transfer, you need an EFT file.
Your EFT file is created from your digital fingerprint captures and submitted directly with your ATF eForm application. Your EFT file never expires — get fingerprinted once and use that file for every future NFA purchase.
- Required for ATF Form 1 (SBR/SBS builds) and Form 4 (NFA transfers)
- Works for suppressors, SBRs, SBSs, and transferable machine guns
- Same-day file delivery — ready for your eForm submission immediately
- File never expires — one appointment covers all future NFA purchases
- Compatible with all NFA trusts and individual filings
North Dakota Teacher Licensure Fingerprinting — ESPB
If you are applying for a North Dakota teaching license, you are required to submit two completed FD-258 fingerprint cards to the Education Standards and Practices Board (ESPB) in Bismarck. We handle the entire process in one 30-minute appointment — so you leave with everything sealed and ready to mail.
What we do in your appointment:
- Capture your fingerprints digitally — no ink, no mess
- Print your physical FD-258 fingerprint cards on our FBI-compliant 1200 DPI laser printer
- Complete Part 2 of the ESPB Fingerprint Verification Form (the technician section)
- Seal and sign the envelope exactly as ESPB requires
- Can also print physical FD-258 cards from an existing digital fingerprint file
What you need to bring:
- Valid government-issued photo ID (driver's license or passport)
- ESPB Fingerprint Verification Form — complete Part 1 before your appointment (available at nd.gov/espb)
- Criminal History Record Check Request Form — complete the Subject of Record Check section
- A large envelope to hold two 8x8 fingerprint cards without folding
- Money order or cashier's check for $44.50 made out to ESPB (no personal checks — this goes directly to ESPB, not us)

Why Our Equipment Makes a Difference
The Integrated Biometrics Kojak is not a consumer fingerprint reader. It's a professional-grade FBI-certified live scan system used by police departments, sheriff's offices, and federal agencies. It captures all ten fingers simultaneously at the highest quality standard, producing captures that meet every federal and state submission requirement — every time.
- FBI-certified professional live scan system
- Same equipment used by law enforcement agencies
- Captures all ten fingerprints simultaneously
- Zero ink — completely digital process
- Highest resolution captures — no smudges, no rejections
- Certified for EFT (ATF) and physical FD-258 card submissions
