    Hello! I am a bit confused with this. Where should I obtain my fingerprint card? from idfpr or from the approved vendors? And how is the isp involved in my fingerprint card? please help!
    First, where are you?

    You can request fingerprint cards from IDFPR itself (see my first comment). Try them first. However, most are saying they are difficult to contact.

    ISP is another way of requesting cards.

    If you're not in IL, a vendor like Accurate Biometrics (see link in first comment) converts your ink-roll card to a digital record and processes it by submitting it to ISP.

    I am currently residing in the Philippines. I sent an email to IDFPR and still no response.

    I tried contacting ISP via email and they told me to contact the IDFPR first. They gave me links connecting me to IDFPR and still no response from the latter.

    If I will go for Accurate Biometrics, is it correct if I use the "FBI card (FD-258)[COLOR=#3d5d6e]"??? Am I doing the correct thing if I use this standard card which I got from their website ([/COLOR]http://www.accuratebiometrics.com/fingerprinting_Ink_and_Roll.html) ??

    Thank you so much for responding

    If you're thinking of printing Accurate's sample image, no. The card will be in a card stock.

    Give IDFPR 2-3 business days (maybe even a week) to respond to you. I don't remember them responding to me when they sent me a fingerprint card. And I remember it arrived hours after I was done with the livescan in Accurate. So, it took a while. Maybe 2 weeks. It would depend on how they choose to send the card to you in the Philippines.

    How did the IDFPR know that you need a fingerprint card? How did you contact them? Thanks.

    I sent them an email as I said in the guide but it does take them "a while".
