At Fingerprinting Solutions Plus, we make ink fingerprinting simple and accurate. Sometimes called fingerprint cards or out-of-state fingerprinting, this service is used for background checks, licenses, jobs, or immigration paperwork. We use advanced technology to make sure your fingerprints are clear and correct, but if you need traditional wet ink fingerprints on particular forms, we can do that, too. Ink fingerprinting is essential for people needing physical fingerprint cards to send to other states or agencies. We’re here to make the process easy and stress-free.


Fingerprint cards are standardized forms used to capture an individual’s fingerprints for various purposes, such as background checks, employment, licensing, and legal matters. While the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) provides general-purpose fingerprint cards, certain agencies and states have developed specific versions to meet particular requirements. At Fingerprinting Solutions Plus, we are equipped to assist with any of the fingerprint cards detailed below, ensuring accurate and compliant fingerprinting services tailored to your needs.

Common Types of Fingerprint Cards:

 FD-258 (FBI Applicant Fingerprint Card):

  • This standard card is used for most non-criminal fingerprinting purposes, including employment, licensing, immigration, and background checks.
  • It is widely accepted across agencies and states for general fingerprinting needs.

SF-87 (Fingerprint Chart):

  • Primarily used for federal employment background checks and specific to certain federal agencies.

FD-1164 (FBI Identity History Summary Request):

  • Used for individuals requesting a copy of their own FBI criminal history record or proof of no record.
  • Frequently required for personal review or immigration purposes.

State-Specific Fingerprint Cards:

Some states have developed fingerprint cards to comply with state laws and regulations. We are able to assist with each card. Examples include:

New Jersey:

  • Requires a unique fingerprint card for state-specific licensing, employment, and regulatory purposes.

Maryland:

  • Utilizes a state-specific fingerprint card for licensing, employment, and other legal processes.

Ohio:

  • Employs its own fingerprint card for background checks and professional certifications required within the state.

Connecticut:

  • These cards are used for state-level background checks within Connecticut. They are essential for individuals seeking employment, licensing, or other opportunities that require a state-specific criminal history check. The Connecticut State Police Bureau of Identification manages these records, ensuring compliance with state regulations. 

International Fingerprint Cards:

Canada: 

  • Uses specific fingerprint cards for immigration, employment, and background checks.
  • These prints are processed by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and must meet Canadian compliance standards.

Agency-Specific Fingerprint Cards

Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA):

  • Requires individuals in the financial sector to submit fingerprints for background checks.
  • Fingerprints must be submitted on FINRA-approved fingerprint cards.
  • FINRA-approved cards are typically obtained through its designated fingerprint provider, Sterling.
  • Ensures compliance with industry regulations for financial professionals.

FD-884 Palm Print Cards

  • The FD-884 is the FBI’s standard palm print card, utilized for capturing palm prints in addition to traditional fingerprinting. This card is often used in conjunction with the FD-249 and FD-258 fingerprint cards to provide a comprehensive set of biometric data. Law enforcement agencies and other authorized entities use the FD-884 to enhance identification accuracy and support criminal investigations.
