Hi,
I am new to the process of filling PCC with FBI. Do I have to use the same printer card FD-258 from the FBI website. My local police station in Halifax, Canada offered me a different finger print card which they said many people get and use it in different country police clearance. Even for USA. That paper looked more sturdier than a regular A4 sheet which I used for taking a print out of the FD-258 form from the website. Should I go with the regular A4 print out of FD-258 or the police station one ?

Hey Guyz,

A query popped in my head seeing some other threads - FBI does accept scanned fingerprints right? I didn't have the option of ink fingerprints in my area and had to drop in the local police station to get my fingerprints scanned.
I didn't think this would be an issue but just thought to clarify forum's opinion on this.
I would like to know if my finger print card is in French if the will take it please

The one they are giving you would be better, you can print it on A4 sheet but thats not recommended because fingerprints smudge more on standard A4 sheet than on sturdier one you mentioned. They are from police department, they know.

Better get fingerprints also taken from them as they know how to properly roll the fingers and ink they have will be more suitable for fingerprinting. Fingerprints through standard stamp paper ink doesn't comes that good whichever kind of paper you may use.

Thanks for the help.

I went to the police station to take the finger print. The new police officer who I met today said FBI doesn't accept their form. He said he has done the form in regular A4 paper in the past.

And the result looked fine to me as well. I am planning to send it to FBI today through the new EDO. If there is a problem in accepting. I will update the thread. Thanks for the help again.

People have had similar experiences in the last couple days. It looks like the mail is picked up either at the end of the day everyday or early in the morning. In either case, it is most likely to be processed tomorrow.
