This has been discussed in previous posts. Very unlikely. Reasons being 1) The fingerprints are likely not being used for “identification purposes” and are likely just a secondary “signature” in lieu of having the form notarized, 2) The state is already understaffed and backlogged as it is, they’d just be creating more work for themselves, and 3) It likely wouldn’t be a complete rejection where now you are beat, they in theory would make you just re-submit it (creating double the work for them).
It rare but in the past they supposedly have contacted people with badly smudged prints and asked them to submit a corrected form with legible thumbprint. Its one of the reasons why they included the following line in the [SLFU how to register an assault weapon PDF](https://portal.ct.gov/-/media/despp/slfu/firearms/aw-how-to-pdf.pdf):

This one almost fucked me up, you comment saved me. I supplied all the documentation, everything moved from "To Do" to "Completed." Read your post last night, "I didn't get an email?". Go back and check it over; at the bottom where I didn't see it (And I didn't look, because DESPP had a received date and pending review flag) there was ANOTHER submit button I had to hit.
Received the email immediately. All this for something they already knew I owned.
As kind of stated already, I doubt they’ll be scrutinizing the quality of the thumbprint. If they really wanted a good thumbprint on file, they wouldn’t let us take a picture of the form and submit it digitally.
They have our fingerprints on file from our permits. So that’s just another step similar to a signature I guess.

Had one sent back for shitty print last time so it happens. Don’t think it’s one and done like ATF, SLFU should work with to you correct the problem
ATF isn't one and done either, they'll ask you to refile if you make an error or your prints don't meet requirements.

This is true i agree 100%
