OUT-OF-STATE FINGERPRINT CARD PROCESSING FOR ILLINOIS REQUIREMENTS

Do you live outside of Illinois and need to be fingerprinted for an Illinois professional license or legislative requirement?


Not a problem! We can process your fingerprints for all Illinois professional requirements including nurse, physician, private security, PERC card, cannabis and more.

To get fingerprinting for Illinois requirements, follow the simple steps below:

Download Out-of-State Forms Packet

Download and print out the forms in the packet above. Detailed instructions for filling out the Out-of-State Fingerprint Application forms are included in the forms packet. Here is an overview of the application steps:

  1. Print out two copies of the standard FBI FD-258 fingerprint card form. It is acceptable to print the FBI FD-258 form on standard white printer/copy paper.

    International Applicant Note: International applicants must also use the standard FBI FD-258 fingerprint card form; do not submit fingerprints on non-FBI fingerprint card forms.

  2. Have two sets of fingerprints taken and placed on the FBI FD-258 card or printed form, using the ink and roll process. “Reason fingerprinted” on the card should specify which license (nursing, PERC, etc…). For questions, please call 866-361-9944 or send us an email at [email protected].

    Note: We will also accept fingerprint cards created by printing on to the cards from an electronic capture by an authorized fingerprint provider such as a local law enforcement agency or licensed fingerprint contractor.

  3. The applicant only fills out Section 1 of the Identity Verification Certifying Statement (OOS-FP). Section 2 is filled out by the law enforcement or fingerprinting agent at the time of fingerprinting. The TCN field in this section will remain blank (to be completed by the livescan vendor). Section 3 is completed by the Accurate Biometrics technician.

  4. Fill out the Out-of-State Fingerprinting/Consent Form. You must include your phone number or email address in the event we need to contact you regarding your fingerprint card. Please sign the form to acknowledge that you have read and agree to the data privacy and biometric information policy.

  5. The standard client fee is $67, please complete the payment form included in the download packet. Clients with a customer service agreement, please submit the form supplied by our Customer Support Team with pricing details and your payment or contact us for further information.* This price includes State and FBI processing fees.
