US police certificate

[CPG]

Hi all,
Has anyone gone through the process of receiving a police certificate from the States? I am being awfully slow.

When it comes to fingerprints--how strict are they? Can I get them anywhere? Or authored places only? Not exactly sure where to get them in my home country.

And which form exactly am I completing online? This one--https://www.edo.cjis.gov/#/

Many thanks in advance,
CPG

You simply need to put your fingerprint on the downloadable card the FBI has provided and send it to them. You can use a stamp pad to take one.

I am afraid that won't work. The FD-258 form asks for the "signature of official taking fingerprints". So, the question is, how strict are with who does your fingerprints and where it needs to be done?

I did not see it when I had sent my FD-258 and had got my PCC.

Maybe, you could have your local police station have you do it and have them sign it.

Hi, I got FBI report for my husband and me last month and the entire process was super easy.
1. Download the FD258 form.
2. Print it in a normal A4 sheet (We took 20 copies)
3. Take 5 copies of your finger print by yourself. (We used normal "Camel" inkpad in India as we couldn't find fingerprinting inkpad, its available in Amazon though) We referred this youtube video -
4. We sent both our application together. We packed our application in separate envelopes but shipped them together to US in one big cover.
5. Within 3 days of receiving the cover, the FBI mailed the report to us. We received the physical copy in 20 days for no extra fee. Physical copy is not required for Canada immigration though.

Let me know if you have any question in the entire process.
