FINGERPRINT CARD SERVICES IN MIAMI: FD-258, FD-1164, AND PRINT-TO-CARD FINGERPRINTING. Miami Dade Apostille provides professional fingerprint card rolling and print-to-card services for individuals who need physical fingerprint cards for background checks, professional licensing, employment, personal record reviews, and qualifying international applications. We assist clients preparing documents for visas, residency, adoption, and other purposes when the receiving agency permits privately collected fingerprint cards. Our team focuses on clear impressions, accurate card completion, and following the instructions provided by your requesting agency. Acceptance is determined by the receiving authority and cannot be guaranteed. FD-258 FINGERPRINT CARD ROLLING: The FD-258, commonly called the blue fingerprint card, is used for various applicant fingerprinting purposes. Depending on the requesting agency’s instructions, these may include licensing, employment screening, background checks, and certain adoption or international applications. Bring your agency’s instructions so we can confirm the requested card format and required information. A physical fingerprint card is not automatically a substitute for an agency-required electronic submission or scheduled government biometrics appointment. FD-1164 FINGERPRINT CARD ROLLING: The FD-1164 is the FBI’s fingerprint form for Identity History Summary requests. An Identity History Summary may be requested for personal review or as part of an international document process, depending on the receiving authority’s requirements. The FBI provides the form and submission information through its official Identity History Summary resources. PRINT-TO-CARD SERVICES: Print-to-card converts compatible electronically captured fingerprints into a physical fingerprint card for a submission that accepts that format. If your fingerprints were previously captured using Live Scan, contact us before your appointment to confirm whether the original provider can supply a compatible file and whether it can be used for your requested service. Not every digital file, scanned card, photograph, or previous electronic submission can be converted into an acceptable fingerprint card. We cannot automatically retrieve fingerprints taken by another provider or held in a government database. Printing fingerprints onto a card does not itself submit a background check request or deliver results to a licensing board. WHAT TO BRING: Bring a valid government-issued photo ID, such as a passport, driver’s license, or state identification card, together with your requesting agency’s forms and instructions. Bring an ORI number, agency address, reference number, or other identifying information if your instructions require it. Confirm the correct card type, number of cards, submission deadline, and whether your agency requires collection by a particular provider or law enforcement office. Your identifying information should be consistent with your application and identification. Avoid guessing agency codes or other required entries; obtain them from the requesting organization. YOUR FINGERPRINTING APPOINTMENT: We review your instructions, verify your identification, help prepare the required card information, and collect the fingerprint impressions needed for your card. A typical appointment takes approximately 10–15 minutes per person, although multiple cards or difficult-to-capture impressions can require additional time. Arrive with clean hands and tell the technician about cuts, bandages, worn fingerprints, or other conditions that could affect collection. Our staff works to minimize smudging and incomplete impressions, but the receiving agency makes the final quality and acceptance decision. PRICING: Fingerprint card rolling and print-to-card service are $40 per card for FD-258 or FD-1164 cards. Additional cards are available upon request. Contact us for a quote covering the number of cards, shipping, and any additional services you need. Ask whether your order involves separate background check fees, agency fees, translation, notarization, or apostille processing; these are distinct from fingerprint card preparation. SHIPPING AND MAIL-IN OPTIONS: Domestic and international shipping can be arranged through FedEx, UPS, DHL, or USPS, subject to destination and carrier availability. Contact us for shipping prices and instructions before sending documents or fingerprint materials. Fingerprint rolling requires your physical presence. Mail-in assistance may be available for eligible document handling or print-to-card orders after we confirm the requirements and file compatibility. Do not email fingerprint files or other sensitive biometric information before requesting appropriate submission instructions. WHY CHOOSE MIAMI DADE APOSTILLE?

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: What are FD-258 fingerprint cards used for? They are used for various applicant fingerprinting requests, including certain licensing, employment, and background check processes. Your agency determines the correct form and submission method. What is an FD-1164 card used for? It is the FBI fingerprint form for Identity History Summary requests. Do I need to bring my own fingerprint cards? No. We provide FD-258 and FD-1164 cards. If your agency supplied a specific card, bring it with its instructions. What is print-to-card service? It is the printing of compatible electronically captured fingerprints onto a physical fingerprint card. Are print-to-card cards accepted by the FBI or other agencies? Acceptance depends on the specific submission process, image quality, card format, and current receiving-agency requirements. Electronic capture alone does not guarantee acceptance. Can you use fingerprints taken by another Live Scan provider? Possibly, if a suitable file is available and compatible with our service. Contact us before sending files or assuming they can be retrieved. How much does fingerprinting cost? The listed price is $40 per card. Ask about additional cards, shipping, and related services when requesting a quote. What identification do I need? Bring a valid government-issued photo ID, such as a passport, driver’s license, or state ID, and any additional identification required by your agency. Do I need an ORI number? Only if your requesting agency or submission process requires one. Obtain the correct number from that agency; an ORI entry alone does not initiate electronic submission or route results. How many cards should I complete? Follow your agency’s instructions. Ask whether an additional original card is useful for your application before ordering extra cards. Do you mail fingerprint cards? Yes. Domestic and international shipping options are available, subject to destination and carrier availability. Are fingerprints taken in ink or electronically? We offer ink-rolled fingerprint cards and print-to-card service for compatible digital fingerprints. Confirm the service you need when booking. Does fingerprinting include my FBI background check? Fingerprint collection and the background check request are separate steps. Ask us which services your order includes and what additional submission steps or fees apply. Can you help apostille my FBI background check? Yes. We offer assistance preparing and submitting eligible FBI reports for government-issued apostilles. We do not issue apostilles ourselves, and an apostille on a report is separate from preparing the fingerprint card. Can fingerprints be rejected? Yes. Poor image quality, missing impressions, incomplete information, an incorrect form, or an unsuitable submission method can cause rejection. Professional collection helps reduce avoidable problems but cannot eliminate all rejection risks. What should I do if my fingerprints are rejected? Contact us with the rejection notice and the agency’s instructions so we can review the reason and discuss the next steps, including any applicable fees. Can you notarize fingerprint cards? If your agency requests a notarized statement or another permitted notarial act, bring its written instructions so we can determine what is appropriate. Notarization does not guarantee acceptance of the fingerprints. Do you provide mobile fingerprinting? Our primary service is in-office. Mobile arrangements may be available for groups; contact us about location, group size, scheduling, and pricing. How long does fingerprinting take? Allow approximately 10–15 minutes per person, with extra time for multiple cards or collection difficulties. This does not include background check, shipping, or apostille processing time. How long are fingerprint cards valid? The requesting agency determines how recently fingerprints must have been taken. Confirm its date requirements rather than assuming a universal expiration period. Can I reuse fingerprints for multiple agencies? Do not assume so. Each agency may require a separate original card, a new collection date, or a different submission process. Do you serve international clients? Yes. We assist clients preparing fingerprint cards for international purposes where the receiving authority accepts the card and collection method. Do you keep my fingerprints on file? We do not retain fingerprint records for future reuse. Contact us before a digital print-to-card order to discuss file handling and delivery. Can someone else attend the appointment for me? No. The person whose fingerprints are being collected must attend and present the required identification. Do I need an appointment? Contact us to confirm availability, especially for same-day service, multiple applicants, or print-to-card requests.
