Quick answer: Some federal employers and programs ask applicants to submit FD-258 fingerprint cards. A trained technician can take clear ink prints that meet FBI card standards.
Follow Your Program’s Instructions
Each federal program has its own submission steps. Read the instructions carefully, including where to mail cards and which fields to complete.
Card Quality Matters
Smudged or incomplete prints are a common reason for rejection. Professional ink fingerprinting greatly reduces the chance you will need to be printed again.
