When you need to provide your fingerprints for a background check, you will use a fingerprint card. The process is fairly simple and only takes a few minutes.
First, you will need to find a place to get your fingerprints taken. Many police departments offer this service, or you can go to a private company that specializes in fingerprinting. Make sure the company uses FBI-approved ink and cards, as these are the only ones that will be accepted by the government.
Once you have your fingerprints taken, they will be transferred onto the card. You will then need to fill out some personal information on the back of the card, such as your name, date of birth, Social Security number, and address. Once everything is filled out correctly, you can mail the card off to the address provided.
