Need paper fingerprint cards instead of Live Scan? FD-258 cards are still required by many programs and agencies. If your instructions say to mail fingerprint cards or you are applying out of state, this is often the service you need.
When FD-258 Fingerprint Cards Are Usually Required
Out-of-State Licensing
Some licensing boards and agencies still require physical fingerprint cards instead of electronic submission.
Federal or Mail-In Requests
Some federal processes and paper-based requests require completed FD-258 cards to be mailed to the receiving agency.
Adoptions, Immigration, and Personal Review
If your written instructions call for mailed fingerprint cards, FD-258 is often the standard format used for submission.
If you are not sure whether you need FD-258 cards or Live Scan, bring your instructions and we will help you choose the right option.
