Q1225. Can I get FBI FD-258 fingerprints taken in Bangkok?
Answered by NYC Visa & Translation
Yes, fingerprints for an FBI FD-258 card can be taken in Bangkok, but confirm that the provider offers ink fingerprinting in the format required by your intended recipient. Ask the Royal Thai Police or a fingerprinting provider about current availability, appointments, identification requirements, and whether you must bring the card. Explain whether the prints are for an FBI Identity History Summary or another background-check process, because submission rules can differ. Follow the FBI’s current instructions on acceptable cards, required personal details, signatures, and print quality; fingerprints alone are not a completed background-check application. Check eligibility before using an FBI-approved channeler. Smudged or incomplete impressions can require retaking, and fingerprint collection does not include translation or authentication of the eventual report.
