An EFT (Electronic Fingerprint Transmission) file is a standard digital format created by the FBI for fingerprint data. NFA Suite allows you to create these files using your iPhone's camera, which you can then upload directly to the ATF eForms portal.

Absolutely. NFA Suite processes all biometric data locally on your device using Apple's Neural Engine. We never upload your fingerprints to any cloud server. Your data stays yours.

Shop Mode is designed for FFLs. To enable it, go to Settings within the app and select "Shop Mode". You will need an active subscription to access these features.
