How to Correctly Fill Out a Fingerprint Card in Florida

To ensure your fingerprint card is completed accurately, follow these steps:

1. Obtain the Correct Card (FD-258):Use the FD-258 fingerprint card, which is commonly required for background checks in Florida. You can obtain this card from your local law enforcement office, through our Live Scan fingerprinting services in Miami, or by requesting it from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE).

2. Fill in Personal Information:Complete the top section of the fingerprint card with your personal details, including:

   • Full Name (Last, First, Middle)

   • Date of Birth

   • Sex

   • Race

   • Height

   • Weight

   • Eye Color

   • Hair Color

   • Social Security Number

   • Citizenship

   • Place of Birth (City, State, or Country)

3. Provide Additional Information:Depending on the purpose of the fingerprint card, you may need to fill in additional fields, such as the ORI (Originating Agency Identifier) number. This information is required for specific types of background checks and must be provided by the requesting agency.

4. Leave the Fingerprint Section Blank:Do not attempt to complete the fingerprint section yourself. This part of the card will be filled out by a certified fingerprinting professional who will capture your fingerprints and roll them onto the card. Poor-quality prints can result in the rejection of your card.

5. Double-Check for Accuracy:Carefully review all the information you’ve entered to ensure there are no errors or omissions. Incorrect or incomplete information can delay the processing of your background check or application.

6. Submit the Card:Once a professional has completed your fingerprint card, submit it to the appropriate agency along with any required forms or fees.

By following these steps, you can ensure that your fingerprint card is properly completed and accepted by the agency. For residents in Miami, we offer fingerprinting in Miami and Live Scan fingerprinting services to make this process as seamless as possible.
