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

Fingerprinting for Texas Requirements

Certifix provides professional fingerprinting services for individuals who need fingerprint cards for Texas background checks, licensing, employment, or other regulatory requirements.

Many Texas agencies process fingerprints electronically through approved vendors. However, certain applications allow or require applicants to submit FD-258 fingerprint cards by mail.

We offer a convenient FD-258 Fingerprint Card service, where your fingerprints are captured digitally using Live Scan equipment and professionally printed onto an official FD-258 fingerprint card. The completed card is mailed directly to you for submission according to your agency’s instructions.

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