ATF NFA / FFL Firearms Background Check

Gun Trust & NFA Fingerprinting Near Somerset, OH

ATF NFA applications (suppressors, short-barrel rifles, machine guns) require FD-258 fingerprint cards submitted with ATF Form 1 or Form 4. Individuals and gun trust responsible persons must each submit separate FD-258 cards. This is different from the NICS check at your FFL dealer for a standard handgun purchase. We print FD-258 ink cards for ATF NFA applications at our Somerset-area office and make sure every card is clean enough to pass ATF standards.

Firearms & Gun Trust Fingerprinting for Somerset Residents

Somerset is located in Perry County (Southeast Ohio). We process firearms & gun trust fingerprinting for residents and employers throughout Perry County and surrounding areas, with walk-in availability seven days a week.

NFA item purchasers (suppressors, SBR, SBS, full-auto)

Gun trust responsible persons completing ATF forms

Individuals making NFA items (Form 1)

Class 3 SOT dealers adding dealer samples

Legal Requirements

ATF Form 1 (making NFA items) and Form 4 (transferring NFA items) require FD-258 fingerprint cards for individuals. For gun trusts, each "responsible person" (trustees and settlors) must submit their own FD-258 cards plus a Responsible Person Form (ATF 5320.23). NFA processing times through the ATF eFile system vary from weeks to months. NICS background checks for standard firearm purchases are a separate, instant check done at licensed FFL dealers — not at fingerprinting providers.

What to Expect

Bring blank FD-258 cards (available at ATF-approved stationery or print from ATF website), or we can supply them. We roll ink prints on the FD-258 cards. ATF requires clean, clear impressions — we inspect all 10 fingers before you leave. Cards are returned to you to submit with your ATF form.

Turnaround

Cards ready immediately. ATF processing (your responsibility): varies by form and ATF queue.

Cost

FD-258 ink cards (2-card set): $50. Each additional set: $20.

Frequently Asked Questions

I'm buying a suppressor through a gun trust with 3 trustees. How many cards do we need?

Each responsible person needs their own complete set of FD-258 cards (2 cards per person, typically). For 3 trustees: you need 3 separate sets (6 cards total), plus the ATF 5320.23 form for each person.

Can I buy a regular handgun here without going to a gun store?

No. Standard firearm purchases require a NICS check done by an FFL dealer at point of sale. We only handle NFA-related fingerprint cards — not retail firearm transfers.
