The FastBound Browser Extension automates the entering of details into the NICS portal and state portals in full or partial Point of Contact (POC) states.

Currently, our browser extension supports Google Chrome and the New Microsoft Edge.

These instructions are specific for the Google Chrome browser but they can also be applied to the New Microsoft Edge browser.

To Remove the Background Check Browser Extension, see this help article.

Installing The Extension In Google Chrome or The New Microsoft Edge

Browse to the FastBound Extension in the Chrome Web Store

Click the Add to Chrome button

Click the Add Extension button on the pop-up.

It is a good idea to restart your browser after you install the extension. If you do not want to restart your browser you should refresh the 4473 page before you click the background check button.
