Locate a Site for a Fingerprint Card

Because many government organizations (i.e. Department of Immigration) require physical copies of your fingerprints, many IdentoGO Centers offer the ability to digitally collect an applicant’s fingerprint images and then print them onto a standard fingerprint card (FD-258). Search for a site near you.

Right to Review Options:

1. 1. Emailed Right to Review: This option delivers a secure link to an email, granting one-time access to the criminal history report. The report can then be printed ONLY from a computer. This cannot be downloaded from a mobile device. The report will be marked "True Copy" at the top of the first page and the bottom of the last page, and will include a digital signature from one of our employees.
   2. Printed Copy Right to Review: This option queues the request in our system, and our staff will print a physical copy of the criminal history report and mail it to the requester. The printed report will be stamped "True Copy," signed by one of our employees, and embossed with a raised state seal. This option meets the requirements of agencies, such as the Secretary of State, that need printed copies with raised seals. For Right to Review reports related to expungements, some agencies may require both the criminal history report and printed fingerprint cards. Printed fingerprint cards can be obtained separately from a local sheriff’s office, police department, or IdentoGO location. IdentoGO provides full fingerprinting services as part of a separate process at State Police Headquarters for an additional fee.
