FD-258 Fingerprint Cards for Ohio Background Checks, Licensing & Employment

Fingerprinting for Ohio Requirements

Certifix provides professional fingerprinting services for individuals who need to complete Ohio background checks for licensing, employment, or other state requirements.

Many Ohio agencies process fingerprints through approved vendors or require fingerprint cards for certain application types. We offer a convenient
FD-258 Fingerprint Card service that allows you to submit your fingerprints by mail.

Your fingerprints are captured digitally using Live Scan equipment and professionally printed onto an official FD-258 fingerprint card, which is mailed directly to you for submission to the appropriate Ohio agency or processing vendor.

This service is ideal for applicants who are instructed to mail in fingerprint cards.
