Proof
Original vs Enhanced
A real sample card from the project review flow shows how InstantEFT can take a phone-captured FD-258 card, isolate the print area, and improve fingerprint readability before export.
Enhancement improves ridge contrast and readability without altering fingerprint data.
What this shows
- A real FD-258 sample image from the project
- The review-stage crop used to inspect fingerprint detail
- The validated EFT workflow continues only after visible review

Support & FAQ
Straight answers before you upload your card.
Keep the card fully in frame, use even lighting, and review the visible checks before downloading your EFT if anything deserves another look.
What do I need before I start?+
You need a completed FD-258 card and a clear image of the full card. A phone photo is enough if the card is sharp, straight, and fully in frame.
Can I use a phone photo instead of a scan?+
Yes. InstantEFT is built for phone-captured FD-258 cards as long as the image is sharp, evenly lit, and readable.
Is this built for ATF eForms and NFA applicants?+
Yes. InstantEFT is built for applicants converting a completed fingerprint card into an EFT fingerprint file for ATF eForms and common NFA filing workflows.
Can I use this for a Form 1 or Form 4 submission?+
That is the intended use case. InstantEFT is designed to produce the digital fingerprint file commonly needed for ATF eForms Form 1 and Form 4 workflows.
What happens before I download anything?+
You move through upload, crop review, and visible checks that call out what is present, what deserves a review, and what needs attention before the final download.
Do I still need to visit a kiosk?+
No, not if you already have a completed FD-258 card and a usable phone photo or other image of it.
How long are submission files kept?+
Submission files are retained for a limited window and stay tied to your specific submission workflow.
