Got this email this evening............What will this lead to?

Good evening,
The United States Postal Service (USPS) entered into an Interagency Agreement in October 2022 with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Division to begin development on electronic fingerprint capture on behalf of the FBI for the Identity History Summary Checks (IdHSC), Firearm Challenge, and Voluntary Appeal File (VAF) processes. An individual submitting a firearm challenge or applying for the VAF, will have the option to have their fingerprints captured at their local post office for a $50 fee (set by the USPS). USPS is tentatively targeting mid-March 2024 for deploying the functionality.
The FBI provides arrest and conviction records to authorized individuals upon request pursuant to Departmental Order 556-73. The Electronic Departmental Order (eDO), an initiative of the FBI’s CJIS Division, provides authorized individuals an electronic option to submit requests to challenge their IdHSC, challenge their firearm-related denial, and to apply for the VAF.
Once an individual is registered on the eDO public website, www.edo.cjis.gov, they will have the option to select USPS fingerprinting which will re-direct them to the USPS registration page. After completing the online process, the individual will receive an e-mail confirmation that contains their first name, last name, and order number which corresponds with their eDO challenge or VAF submission. The individual will present this information along with their government issued photo identification to the USPS staff who is capturing the electronic fingerprints. The electronic fingerprint submission will contain plain impressions and will be attached to the individual’s firearm challenge or VAF submission in the eDO System.
There are currently 438 USPS offices with this functionality, 300 more to be added by the end of March, and an additional 800 by end of fiscal year 2024.
