Fingerprint card from Cal, valid in New Mexico?

[aspen2010]

Hi! :nuke:

I'm a nurse from the Philippines, planning to take the nclex exam next year. I understand there is a fingerprint card we need to send aside from the application forms. My problem is I don't know how and where I can get these fingerprint cards. My classmates who applied already said their relatives from the US sent them the fingerprint cards they used when they applied. I don't have relatives in the US who can send me these fingerprint cards. My classmate has offered to give me an extra fingerprint card she has but she is not sure if they are valid because they are from BON Cal and I'm planning to apply for BON New Mexico. I also heard these fingerprint cards can be downloaded now. Is this true?

Thanks :nuke:

If you go to the US Embassy, just make sure to bring with you the NM BON form as they might want to see it.

Also a reminder, it is said in the requirements in NM that you need two (2) of this cards accomplished, not one (1) so better ask for two cards when you apply for NM. California of course only needs 1.

Ok, thanks! :nuke:

email me your address aspen and i will send you a NM fringerprint card

Wow! Wow, thanks! This is very nice of you. :) But they say I need two, and I also checked out in the website I need two. And I need two more for my friend because we agreed to go together, so then I will need four. So maybe you wont have enough fingerprint cards anymore..?

thank you very much, adyam. You are very kind. :smilecoffeecup:

But you know what, I and my friend, we already have our fingerprint cards. :nuke: Isn't that great news? Cause I talked to my friend today and he said I can download from the fbi website and print them but just make sure I use very hard folder. Because that's what he did when he applied for his NCLEX in Ca. So I bought very hard folders and just used the back, which I cut out so they will have the same size as a short bondpaper. Then I printed them out back to back. And when my friend and I went to the NBI, they actually accepted our fingerprint cards. Although I don't know if the FBI in US will accept them, but I think maybe it's worth a try no? :nuke:

But thank you, thank you. I feel really lucky because I have friends, and people like you, whom I don't even know who are willing to help me. I have only the deepest respect. Thank you.
