Live Scan Fingerprinting
Your Prints, Done Right.First Time, Every Time.
No ink. No smudges. No rejected cards mailed back three weeks later. Lawson & Cooper Arms brings digital Live Scan fingerprinting to Jacksonville, Alabama, using FBI-certified equipment trusted by agencies nationwide.
Whether you're filing an NFA eForm, completing an SWFT submission, or need prints for an employment background check, you'll walk out with a clean, ready-to-use digital file — often in under fifteen minutes.
Why Digital Live Scan
Built to Save You Time
Traditional ink cards are the number one reason NFA submissions get delayed. Here's how we fix that.
No More Rejected Cards
Ink-and-roll cards get smudged, over-inked, or flagged illegible — and you don't find out until weeks later. Our scanner grades every print in real time, so any issue gets caught and corrected before you ever leave the building.
ATF-Ready in Minutes
We generate your properly formatted EFT file on the spot, ready to attach directly to your ATF Form 1 or Form 4 eForm submission. No mailing cards, no waiting on a conversion service.
Your Prints, Your File
You leave with your own digital fingerprint file — yours to keep and reuse for future NFA purchases with any dealer you choose. No strings, no lock-in.
Why Owning Your Own File Is Worth It
One capture, kept for life, works on every NFA purchase you ever make — plus licensing, employer, and other background checks along the way. See the full breakdown of what your file can do and how much it can save you.
