Suppressor Hunting Now Legal in Florida!
Great news for Florida hunters: As of 2024, suppressor hunting is now legal for all game in Florida. This includes deer, wild hogs, turkey, and all other legal game species.
If you've been waiting to buy a suppressor for hunting, now is the time. Your SlapEFT fingerprints get you started on the Form 4 process immediately.
Florida Trust vs Individual: Which Should You Use?
Florida NFA buyers can file as individuals or use an NFA trust. Here's when to use each:
File as Individual If:
- You're the only person who needs access
- You want the simplest possible process
- You're buying just one NFA item to start
Use an NFA Trust If:
- Your spouse or family members want legal access
- You're planning ahead for estate transfer
- You're building an NFA collection
- You want to add co-trustees in the future
Either way, your SlapEFT EFT file works for both methods and all future purchases.

Florida NFA Fingerprint FAQs
What fingerprints do I need for suppressors in Florida?
You need FD-258 fingerprint cards converted to EFT format for eForms submissions. SlapEFT handles this conversion for $15, and your file can be reused unlimited times for future purchases.
How long does suppressor approval take in Florida?
Florida eForms Form 4 wait times currently average 4-8 months. Form 1 (for builds) takes 2-4 weeks. Paper forms can take 12-18+ months, so eForms with EFT fingerprints is the way to go.
Can I hunt with a suppressor in Florida?
Yes! Florida legalized suppressor hunting in 2024. You can now use suppressors for all legal game animals, including deer, hogs, and small game.
Do I need new fingerprints for each NFA item?
No. Your EFT file from SlapEFT can be reused unlimited times. Buy multiple suppressors with one set of fingerprints.
What about Florida's 3-day waiting period?
Florida's waiting period doesn't apply to NFA items. You pick up your suppressor when the Form 4 is approved (after the 4-8 month ATF wait).
