Get the card format right before your appointment.
Some applications require a physical fingerprint card, such as an FD-258. Share the receiving organization’s instructions, card format and copy count so we can check availability before arranging an appointment.
Extra cards may be added to an accepted order. Mailing, agency processing and electronic conversion are separate unless included; conversion also requires an approved provider route. A completed card is one part of the application, not a completed background screening.
What’s included.
Confirm the required card format
Specify the exact card and receiving organization; do not assume one format is accepted for every purpose.
Specify the card and extra copies
The request covers the completed card you specify. Extra copies from the same visit can be added to the order.
Separate capture from submission charges
Agency submission, mailing, and processing charges are separate unless included in the order.
Check the card-conversion pathway
Conversion of an existing card to electronic submission is optional and depends on an approved provider pathway.
What you’ll receive
- Confirmed card type and quantity.
- Completed cards within the accepted capture scope.
- Any agreed delivery or handling instructions.
- Clear identification of submission work that remains separate.
