Used For:

  • Nevada state jobs

🟣 Ink Fingerprinting (FD-258 Card)

  • Traditional ink rolled fingerprints

  • Accepted in every U.S. state

  • Required for many federal-level background checks

  • Used for national licensing & out-of-state applications



⭐ When You MUST Choose Ink Fingerprinting (FD-258 Cards)

Choose ink fingerprinting if you need:

  • FBI background check

  • Professional licensing outside Nevada

  • Nevada real estate license (varies, but often ink is accepted)

  • FINRA / banking

  • Nursing board licensing

  • Immigration paperwork
