FBI Ink Fingerprinting
Need traditional fingerprints on an FBI fingerprint card? We provide ink fingerprinting for clients who require traditional fingerprint cards for FBI, employment, licensing, immigration, international or other authorized purposes.
Precision Ink-Rolled FD-258 Cards
The FBI FD-258 card is the gold standard for federal vetting, out-of-state bar exams, foreign work permits, and national licensing boards. Our certified technicians use high-definition ink plates that capture distinct ridge patterns with zero smudges.
FD-258 Fingerprint Cards
The FBI FD-258 card is the standard fingerprint card utilized across the United States and internationally by federal agencies, non-California state licensing boards, and foreign embassies.
If your requesting organization requires an FD-258 or another specific fingerprint card, bring the required card or instructions with you. We maintain standard FD-258 blank cards on hand at our Oakland office and with our mobile technicians.
Mobile Ink Fingerprinting
Ink fingerprinting can also be arranged at your location, subject to service-area and scheduling considerations. Our technicians bring clean-rolling ink systems that produce crisp ridge detail and wash off cleanly.
Before You Visit: Checklist
To ensure your hard cards are completed accurately without risk of agency rejection, please confirm the following:
Confirm which specific fingerprint card is required (standard FD-258, state-specific, or embassy-supplied card).
Confirm how many cards are required (many out-of-state licensing boards require two identical cards).
Confirm whether prints must be rolled (nail-to-nail) or plain/flat simultaneous impressions.
Confirm where and to which specific department or agency address the completed card must be mailed or submitted.
Confirm whether additional forms, agency coversheets, or specific photo identification are required.
If you have already completed cards and need them submitted to California, ask about our Card Conversion service.
