Fingerprint Cards

  • FD-258 Fingerprint Card

    The FD-258 Fingerprint Card is a standard fingerprint card used by the FBI for capturing and processing fingerprints for a variety of purposes, including both criminal and civil background checks. This card is most commonly used for law enforcement, security clearance, employment background checks, licensing, and immigration applications.

    The FD-258 card includes spaces for all ten rolled fingerprints, as well as flat impressions of the thumbs. It also contains fields for personal information such as the subject's name, date of birth, sex, race, height, weight, eye color, hair color, place of birth, and other identifiers.

    The FD-258 is the most widely used fingerprint card in the United States and is accepted by numerous federal, state, and local agencies for processing fingerprint-based background checks.

  • FD-1164 Fingerprint Card

    The FD-1164 Fingerprint Card is a standard fingerprint card used by the FBI specifically for processing non-criminal justice background checks. This card is commonly used for civil background checks, such as for immigration, employment, licensing, and other non-criminal purposes. The FD-1164 card captures rolled and flat impressions of all ten fingers, which are then submitted to the FBI for processing.

    This card is often required when individuals are applying for FBI Identity History Summary Checks (often referred to as a "FBI background check") for purposes such as visa applications, immigration, or personal review. It's similar to the FD-258 card but is specifically used for non-criminal justice fingerprint submissions.
