Option #3

By-Mail Fingerprint Ink Card Scanning and Processing

Applicants will need to follow these simple instructions

  1. Please download the Forms Packet below. You can use an FBI FD-258 fingerprint card from your local sheriff’s office, police department or the State agency that is requesting your fingerprint check, or you can use the one provided in the Forms Packet. Note: the FBI FD-258 fingerprint form may be printed on letter sized paper.

    Note: All data fields highlighted in yellow must be written/printed legibly and completely filled-in on the fingerprint card or form to expedite the fingerprint card scan service. Be sure to include the ORI Number for your fingerprinting purpose.
  2. Take the APPLICANT Fingerprint card or form to your local Police Department or Sheriff’s Office to request “Rolled Fingerprints”. (Fill out the APPLICANT Fingerprint card with BLACK INK ONLY in the sections of the card shown highlighted in yellow in the example included in the pdf).
  3. Payment can be made in the form of a money order or cashier’s check made payable to Accurate Biometrics, or with the completed Credit Card Payment Form included in the Forms Packet.
  4. Our card scan service cannot be provided without including an enclosed payment, an ORI number and the signed Fingerprint Cardscan Applicant Consent form.  Not having all this required information will delay the processing.

    Mail the forms to:

Additional Information

  • Accurate Biometrics will email you a Transaction Control Number (TCN) Report that verifies your live scan submission has been processed. This will also serve as your receipt.
  • VERY IMPORTANT: We cannot process your fingerprint card without an ORI number. (Check with the State agency requesting the background check to confirm your ORI number.)
