FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • What identification do I need to bring to my fingerprinting appointment?

    To verify your identity, please bring two forms of identification to your fingerprinting appointment. At least one ID must be from the primary ID list and must match your current legal name and date of birth. Additionally, at least one ID must show your current valid U.S. address. Please review our ID requirements before your appointment to ensure you bring acceptable documents.

  • Why use Live Scan for fingerprint cards instead of ink?

    Live Scan fingerprint capture is cleaner, faster, and more accurate than traditional ink fingerprinting. Electronic capture allows technicians to review fingerprint quality at the time of capture, helping reduce common issues such as smudges, incomplete prints, and rejections. If a fingerprint card needs to be resubmitted, we offer free recapture and mailing of the replacement FD-258 card.

  • Can I use an FD-258 fingerprint card for different agencies?

    Yes. FD-258 fingerprint cards are widely accepted by U.S. federal agencies, state agencies, licensing boards, and international authorities. This service is especially useful when electronic submissions are not available or when agencies require physical fingerprint cards.

  • Do I need to bring my own fingerprint card?

    No. You do not need to bring a fingerprint card. We capture your fingerprints electronically and provide the fingerprint card as part of the service. Additional copies may be available upon request.

  • How long does the fingerprinting appointment take?

    Most appointments take approximately 10 to 15 minutes. This includes ID verification and electronic fingerprint capture. Processing times after submission depend on the requesting agency.

  • What is FD-258 fingerprint card printing?

    FD-258 fingerprint card service involves capturing your fingerprints electronically using Live Scan equipment. Your fingerprints are then professionally printed onto an official FD-258 fingerprint card. In most cases, the completed fingerprint card is mailed to you after the appointment. Some locations may offer on-site printing.
