3.  Obtain a fingerprint card from the state agency that is requiring you to be fingerprinted.  Usually a FD -258 card. International Applicant Note: International applicants must use a standard FBI card (FD-258); do not submit fingerprints on non-FBI fingerprint card forms.

 

4.  Contact a local law enforcement agency or licensed fingerprint vendor in your state to be fingerprinted using traditional ink on FD-258. Make certain that the fingerprint scan card is filled out completely and that it is signed by the official taking your fingerprints. We can also mail you the FBI FD-258 fingerprint card for a $20 convenience fee if you can not obtain one locally.

 

5.  You will need to provide the ORI number which can be obtained from your employer or the agency requiring you to get the background screening performed. This information can usually be found on their website or you may call them for their ORI number. This is required by the FDLE for them to know what department to send the results of the background screening.

 

6. Make a legible photocopy of your government issued photo I.D. (passport or driver’s license).

 

7. Mail the fingerprint card(s), (DO NOT FOLD THE CARDS DURING SHIPPING), the completed form, the legible copy of your government issued photo ID, and your payment by money order or cashier's check (unless paying by credit card).
