Questionable Identity > Immediate FBI Fingerprint Query

Steps for FBI Query

1.  Photocopy the ten-print card one-to-one.

2.  Photocopy the ten-print card again at 129%, on Super-Fine Resolution.  Make sure you write the subject’s name and DOB somewhere on the enlarged copy.  Again, they do not need the other data on the enlarged version, just the prints.  You will have to follow the same procedure as in step 3 above in the “Steps for Query of CIB”. (See attached example)

3.  Create a cover sheet with the subject’s name, DOB and the statement that you are looking for any existing record on the subject or the fingerprints.  If you have multiple subjects, put a separate cover sheet between each of the subject’s photocopies, with that subject’s name and DOB, (per the FBI’s request).  Make sure that you include a contact name and fax number on the cover sheet, as they will fax the results of the search back to you.  Also, be sure to include a phone number in case they have a problem and need to contact you.

4.  Fax the one-to-one copy of the ten-print card, along with the copy at 129%, and the cover sheet to the FBI Special Processing Center at 304-625-5587.
