How do I correctly fill out a fingerprint card in Florida?
To fill out a fingerprint card correctly in Florida, use the standard FD-258 card, which you can get from a local law enforcement agency, Certifix, or the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE). Fill in your personal details at the top, including your full name, date of birth, sex, race, height, weight, eye and hair color, Social Security number, citizenship, and place of birth. Include your ORI number if provided by the requesting agency. Leave the fingerprint section blank—this must be completed by a certified technician. Double-check your information, then submit the card with any required forms or fees.
Want a faster option? You can skip the fingerprint card and submit your fingerprints electronically to FDLE using Certifix’s nationwide Live Scan service. Visit the Certifix service selection page and choose Florida Live Scan Submission (FDLE) to get started.
