What is FD-258 Fingerprinting and When Do You Need It?
FD-258 is the official federal fingerprint card required by government agencies for comprehensive background checks and security clearances throughout the United States.
What is an FD-258 Card?
The FD-258 is a standardized fingerprint card developed by the FBI for capturing rolled and flat fingerprints. It includes personal information fields and meets federal requirements for background checks, employment screening, and security clearances. Because it’s a physical card, you submit it to your requesting agency yourself — which means you keep control of the process and can make copies for multiple applications.
When You Need FD-258 Cards
- Federal Employment: Government jobs requiring security clearances
- ATF Applications: Form 1 and Form 4 NFA items, FFL licensing
- Law Enforcement: Police officer, detective, federal agent positions
- Healthcare Licensing: Nursing, pharmacy, and medical licenses — especially out-of-state and non-compact state applications
- Education: Teaching licenses and school district employment
- Professional Licensing: Legal, financial (FINRA), and regulatory positions
- Immigration: Naturalization and visa applications requiring an FBI Identity History Summary
- International: Background checks for visas abroad, often paired with apostille service

Ink Cards or LiveScan to Card — Which Do You Need?
Both produce physical FD-258 cards you submit to your agency. The difference is how your prints are captured.
| Feature | Traditional Ink ($85) | LiveScan to Card ($125) |
|---|---|---|
| Capture method | Rolled ink prints, directly on the card | Digital scan with quality checks, printed onto the card |
| Included cards | 2 cards (+$20 each additional) | 1 card (+$20 each additional) |
| Best for | Standard submissions, most agencies, best value | Worn or hard-to-print fingers, lowest rejection risk, many card sets |
| Rejection risk | Low with a professional technician | Lowest — software verifies print quality before printing |
