Ink Fingerprint Services Fees and Information:

Ink printing is available for applicant cards from other states, cards not supported by LiveScan software,
and FBI-only background checks at a cost of $10 per card.  All cards must be provided by the applicant.
If your background check is being processed by Maryland CJIS (state check), you must be printed on LiveScan and
have prints submitted electronically.  Ink printing may take longer to complete. 

Hands should be clean, without bandages or broken skin. If you have an injury that prevents
you from rotating your arm or wrist, please wait until you can do so.

Without a wait or exceptional circumstances, fingerprinting should take about 10-15 minutes.
This service is first-come first-served. Every attempt is made to ensure the quality of the image.
Please give yourself a large window of time to be fingerprinted, in the event of high volume or exceptional circumstances.
