Ink Fingerprinting
Traditional ink-rolled FD-258 fingerprint cards — completed same day, ready to mail.
Completed cards in hand same day — no waiting, no mailing delays on our end.
What It Is
Ink fingerprinting uses traditional ink to roll your fingerprints onto standard FD-258 fingerprint cards. Many federal agencies, out-of-state licensing boards, and certain background check providers still require physical ink cards rather than electronic submission. Cards are prepared and ready for you to mail same day.
Who Needs This
- Federal agency applicants required to submit physical fingerprint cards
- Out-of-state licensing board applicants (notary, process server, real estate, etc.)
- Anyone whose agency specifically requires FD-258 ink cards
- Individuals who have received rejected electronic submissions and need a physical backup
What to Bring
- Valid government-issued photo ID
- Fingerprint card if your requesting agency provided one (we also stock standard FD-258 cards)
