How to Take Your Fingerprints at Home

[@SilencerCentral]

UPDATE: As of 2023, the kit ships with two fingerprint cards, not four.

[@jonathankirkpatrick289]

The amount of BS it takes to get a suppressor is absurd. I should be able to walk into the gun store and walk out with one in 5 minutes. Buying one of these shouldn’t be any different from buying a box of ammo or an extra magazine. Anyways nice video, I’ll be ordering one to put on my 15-22 soon

[@SilencerCentral]

We couldn't agree with you more, Jonathan! Let us know when you're ready to get your suppressor!

[@ldaxxx1]

All this fingerprinting nonsense is just bureaucratic bullshit, designed to harass gun owners. The ATF could easily get digital fingerprints from any state that issues CCW permits. In Europe suppressors can be bought over the counter.

[@JohnDakila]

Just purchased one with these guys and its pretty easy step and makes it a lot easier for everything in purchasing a suppressor. Can't wait 😊

[@SilencerCentral]

Thanks for your business! You're gunna love it!

[@dgott7726]

Be advised...this video is old. It's fall 2022. The kits no longer come with 4 cards. Only 2 in mine.

[@captureoutdoormedia]

Bought a suppressor today..so I have to send the fingerprints back to silencer central, y’all have to receive them and send them to the ATF to be received within 10 days of today?

[@Klyce]

If I submit my fingerprints for you and then later buy another suppressor do I need to submit them again for each subsequent suppressor?

[@SilencerCentral]

You would not need to re-submit your prints again.

[@EWDEEZY313]

@SilencerCentral I’ve purchased two separate kits but instead I only received 3 fingerprint cards, I did receive two ink pads as well as two different instruction pamphlets, however I was shorted on the cards !

[@SilencerCentral]

Sorry to hear you were missing a card. Give us a call at 866-891-4494.

@@SilencerCentral this is the kind of custom service that I get behind right here, take care of the 2A citizen's my guys. We will be the last line of defense!

[@jasonfillbrandt9466]

I ordered a Banish 30 this week and the fingerpring kit should be here i think tomorrow, if i want to make sure of a good job on fingerprints do you know if we can go to our local police station and have them help us? will they? thanks

[@SilencerCentral]

Absolutely! We would suggest giving them a call first to find out what hours they offer to help with fingerprinting.

[@jasonfillbrandt9466]

@@SilencerCentral Ok thank you!

[@Jericho-pn3zi]

@@SilencerCentral that's awesome. I'm definitely going to do that.

[@SteveZ919]

How long was your banish in jail?

[@barrymccokiner2779]

Ive heard the ATF just tosses them. Which is certainly possible after the ridiculously messy prints I’ve turned in

[@ldaxxx1]

I have heard they scan them and toss the originals. Or else some stupid clerk shreds them after they get your money.

[@ryanwillis6194]

Can I do my prints at home for a VAF ?

[@livefree5997]

When you buy the suppressor do you have to buy those finger print cards separately, or do some come with the order?

[@SilencerCentral]

We will mail you out fingerprint cards with the purchase of your suppressor!

[@elijhajohnson6675]

@@SilencerCentral really because it cost me $9.99 on top of the price of my suppressor.

[@SilencerCentral]

@@elijhajohnson6675 The $9.99 is the cost of the fingerprint kit that includes an inkpad.

[@elijhajohnson6675]

@@SilencerCentral I know but the op asked if you had to pay for the fingerprint cards or if it was included in the purchase of the suppressor and your reply made it seem like they where included. So I just let them know that you do have to pay for them separately.

[@SilencerCentral]

@@elijhajohnson6675 They come without the ink.

[@entrenedor]

Do I have to do fingerprints if I have a concealed carry license?

[@SilencerCentral]

Yes, you do.

[@stevenkennedy4130]

I am so, buying a muffler, from you fine folks! Thanks for the share!!

[@SilencerCentral]

Our pleasure!

[@daneblackburn613]

I just bought one

[@UnstoppableFPS]

Do I have to do both cards or do I only need to do one ? My kit only had 2 cards in it, and no ink pad. Luckily I had my own ink pad.

[@UnstoppableFPS]

@Brandon L. Maddox perfect, thank you for the quick response!! The instructions said return two cards so I had to double check. Thank you! Looking forward to my banish 30!

[@ScoutSniper3124]

I only got 2 fingerprint cards... did you guys change that?

[@SilencerCentral]

Yes, we did change it from when this video was originally made two years ago.

[@larryb7047]

Thanks to O'Bidenomics, everyone is cutting back on "portions." 'Cause I only received two (2) FD-258 fingerprint cards from SC, instead of the four (4) mentioned in this clip (might want to update the video or at least add an update in the narrative below the clip). However, as a retired military vet, CCW permit holder, and retired federal employee, I've been "printed" many times. So, I'll just be careful to correctly ink these 2 cards. Reviewing the video does indeed refresh the process in the ol' brain. THANKS!

[@SilencerCentral]

The description has been updated.

[@TheMikeFranzonePod]

Thanks Guys!

[@LPcristhy]

I did exactly the same and I was rejected. They said It was low quality

[@Bubba015]

My fingerprint card did not come with instructions on how to fill out the top portion

[@SilencerCentral]

Give us a call at 866-891-4494 and we can walk you through it.

[@2america826]

Just paid for mine hope it goes well

[@SilencerCentral]

We've started receiving our first eForms back already, so fingers crossed!

[@copper12heavy69]

If the federal government has my fingerprints already can I skip the card step?

[@SilencerCentral]

No, you still have to submit a set of prints.

[@bermchasin]

@@SilencerCentral will you ever adopt eprints? I know silencer shop reuses digital prints.

[@ldaxxx1]

No. I worked for government and the left hand has no idea what the right hand is doing. Agencies could easily exchange data, but that would be too efficient for them.

[@christopherkilby2547]

What if you are missing a digit on one of your hands. Left ring finger was amputated.

[@ryt6149]

Send in your mushroom stamp!

[@DanielBjorndahl]

you write amputated, scar, etc. in the box

[@deezTX]

great video

[@SilencerCentral]

Thanks!

[@tylerhughes3984]

I love silencer central and all but having to go through all of this to get a suppressor is a bunch of crap!! Should be no different than getting a gun. These fingerprint cards are hard enough for people with big hands or worn and torn hands. Also, I did not get 4 cards with mine I got 2. Hopefully the 2nd one will do. Because I boogered up the first one lol! Hell, I have a crater in my left ring finger from digging out a splinter. I pressed but where the crater is no ink is shown so I will probably have to do it again.

[@u.s6838]

Hey I have signed in blue pen ,is it fine ??????

[@SilencerCentral]

Instructions are to use black ink on the FP cards.

[@andybulldog79]

What if you have cuts on your fingers? I always have cuts from the work I do. Will that tamper with the quality of the print?

[@g52879]

I see on my paperwork "watching the video so I don't mess it up 😂" there is a little section you can add a note of cuts, or disfigurement that will make the print unique

[@radamson1]

@@g52879 Where, I can't find any open places that aren't to be filled in by the FBI?

[@Number1HockeyPlaya]

Followed this video exactly. My fingerprints got denied.

[@not-AI]

What was the reason given for the denial?

@@not-AI my fault. I forgot to add “IV” after my name in the name section, since I am the 4th. I will delete my comment.

[@radamson1]

I accidentally cut a piece off my left thumb a few weeks ago. It's has healed down to just smaller than an eraser on a pencil. It will be weeks before it's completely gone. What am I to do about that?

[@nikkonikko8684]

😂 ngl this made me laugh

[@SconedColdSober]

I was told you had to have law enforcement do fingerprints and sign off on them. I went down to my local corrections office and got the process done for $20 bucks. Had to wait in the lobby and get weird looks, felt like a criminal the whole time.

[@SilencerCentral]

Not true at all. Plenty of people do theirs at home with our DIY kit and they are accepted without issue.

[@illestdomer2005]

I have been told that as well, but Silencer Shop has its kiosk along with digital prints that you can have taken without anyone signing off on them; so, I think that is probably just legacy lore.

[@not-AI]

I had to go to police station for my CWP but that was like 20 yrs ago much has probably changed by now

[@1013Andrew]

Does each person on the trust need to submit fingerprints? Say my wife?

[@SHUB281]

You only sent me 2 cards. Inflation. Smh

[@De3533N]

What a racket! The "kit" for $10 was just the ink pad. How much could that cost? I just spent $3600, this should be gratis. This is bad optics.

[@danielfredrikson3054]

1:02 Also before we're going to do the fingerprints, make sure that you wash your hands with soap or water" Don't you mean soap and water?

[@EXACTLYInstrumentals]

You are so lame lol

[@wafers35]

return postage isn't paid? lmfao. embarrassing

[@TaterSalad-lr3pf]

Wash your hands with soap or water. Not soap and water
