Hi Guys,

Quick question - When you send your fingerprints to FBI, do you have to send 2 sets of prints? or just one set? (btw, one set = one FD258 form)

Thanks,
RG

The requiremet is 1 but its good idea to send more than 1 because sometimes fingerprints might not be clear in one copy in that case they can check other copies if sent.
No strict and hard rule on the number of sets.

Thanks laxmikanthms for your thoughts.

So I'll send both the copies of fingerprints together with the coverletter and money order.


Thanks,
RG
