Fingerprinting Services for FBI USA in Delhi: A Complete Guide

If you are planning to immigrate, apply for a work visa, or need to obtain an FBI Police Clearance Certificate (PCC), submitting your fingerprints on an FBI-approved card (FD-258) is a mandatory requirement.

This post explains how to get FBI fingerprinting services in Delhi and in India—including step-by-step instructions, required documents, and how RealScan Biometrics can help you complete the process efficiently.

Why You Need FBI Fingerprinting in India?

The FBI Criminal Background Check, also known as an Identity History Summary, is required for:

• U.S. immigration and green card applications
• Visa renewals or status adjustments
• Work authorization or licensing in specific US states
• University admissions or exchange programs
• Court cases, background checks, or legal verification

To get this summary, the FBI requires a set of ink-rolled fingerprints submitted on the official FD-258 fingerprint card.

What is the FD-258 Fingerprint Card?

The FD-258 card is the standard fingerprint form used by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). It includes:

• Your ten fingerprint impressions (rolled and plain)
• Personal details (name, DOB, place of birth, etc.)
• Signature and capture details from the fingerprint technician
• All prints must be captured clearly using black ink, with proper alignment and no smudging.

FBI Fingerprinting in Delhi – How it Works?

You can’t submit fingerprints digitally from India to the FBI. You need to:

• Capture fingerprints on the FD-258 card using black ink
• Mail the card to the FBI in the USA or submit via an approved FBI channeler
• Receive your background report via email or mail
