ATF is proposing to amend regulatory requirements to submit fingerprints and photographs with firearms applications. Currently, applicants must submit 2”x 2” passport-style photographs and either one or two fingerprint cards, depending on the application type. ATF proposes that all applicants can submit a copy of a photo ID, and just one fingerprint card. Responsible persons under the National Firearms Act would submit one fingerprint card only if needed to facilitate a background check. Read the proposal and comment by Oct. 5, 2026, at #NewEra ↧
