are fingerprint cards all the same?


I'm a nurse based in Manila. I requested my fingerprint card a long time ago and it's still not here. A friend of mine compared their fingerprint cards and they all seem to be the same. Would it matter if I asked for their extra fingerprint card instead to save time? would it matter? Thanks

The new thing in America is electronic fingerprinting which goes directly to the FBI by computer. See if this is available because it is really a time saver.

Moved to the international forum. Much has already been written about finger print cards try searching for them. Live scan is only available in the US so will need a finger print card done

If the person is not in the US, then they are unable to use the LiveScan to get prints done this way.

They still need to use the old fingerprint cards.

Fingerprint cards in the US are not generic for the BONs. It means that one for a specific state cannot be used by another state.

Would contact them again if you have not received them for a new set to be sent out to you.
