Fingerprint cards for ATF

My brothers and I have a trust set up to buy suppressors and we have bought present and post 41P. There are 3 of us on the trust, so when we purchased post 41p, we went to our local sherrifs department and were able to get fingerprint cards done, but it cost us ~$65. I'm wondering if one would be able to get fingerprint card blanks from amazon and submitted those? Would.the ATF recognize them or does one HAVE to get them from the sherrif/police? Here are the ones I'm looking at. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AX3LCO2/ref...la-378992779884
 
I've bought through silencer shop before and they have our prints and photos on file, that we submitted through one of their kiosks. But, I decided to buy directly from a sponsor of this site, Silent Legion, and don't see their product on silencer shop.

I believe this is correct. You can also call or email ATF and they will send you the correct cards, doesn't really matter where you get them as long as they are the correct cards. It's kind of like the photo, you can take your own as long as it meets their requirement but I always get the 2 for $10 passport photos because I don't have a good printer and I know they will accept those pictures. Btw, I spoke to a lady at ATF about a year ago and she told me that of all of the stuff you have to submit the fingerprint cards were about the least likely thing to hold you up so I wouldn't sweat it too much.
I got rejected once, zip code typo

but it only cost me about 2 weeks.
 
The pix are easy. I got a free app for my IPhone called 2x2 Pix, my wife photo'd my ugly mug, and I took it to Wally World and printed it at the photo center. IIRC, it cost me under $2.
 
I got the cards from the ATF, then was printed at the UPS store. Cost a couple of bucks, but it was convenient. They also did my cards for my FFL with no issues.
 


I live in SW Ohio, the crime lab stopped doing finger prints.
I have to drive to another town to get mine done.
I had to make sure they had blue line cards, Forms FD-258.
They had to roll my prints manually. What a mess.
The LEO who took my prints, had to fill out and sign each card.
It cost me $30. So if you can get them free go for it.
That was six months ago for a FORM 1 for an SBR.
 
Local Walgreen was 2 passport photos $14.99. Gun shop did my fingerprints. I brought home 2 blank fingerprint cards, going to ask a Police chief friend to do the next set.
