Physical Fingerprint Cards (FD-258 & FD-1164) in Naperville, IL
Some agencies — especially out-of-state licensing boards, federal programs, and employers outside Illinois — require your fingerprints on a physical fingerprint card rather than an electronic (Livescan) submission. Efficient Biometrics captures your prints and provides completed FD-258 and FD-1164 cards on-site in Naperville, ready for you to mail to your requesting agency.
When you need a physical fingerprint card
You’ll typically need an FD-258 or FD-1164 card when your requesting agency is in another state, is a federal agency, or specifically asks for an ink or hard-card submission that can’t be sent electronically through the Illinois State Police. If you’re applying for an Illinois state license, you most likely need Livescan fingerprinting instead — call us and we’ll confirm which one applies.
Applying for a professional license in another state? See FD-258 fingerprint cards by profession — physicians, nurses, attorneys, CPAs, pharmacists, real estate agents, insurance producers, teachers and more.
Buying a suppressor, setting up a gun trust, or applying for an FFL? See ATF & firearms fingerprinting — NFA tax stamps, gun trusts, FFL, non-resident carry permits, and EFT files for ATF eForms.
FD-258 and FD-1164 — what’s the difference?
The FD-258 is the standard FBI fingerprint card used for most background checks and out-of-state applications. The FD-1164 is a personal-identification card used for certain applicant and licensing programs. Bring whichever your agency specifies — if you’re not sure, we’ll help you pick the right one.
