What is an FBI FD-258 Card?
The FD-258 is the FBI’s standard applicant fingerprint card used for non-criminal justice background checks. Many agencies still require fingerprints on a physical FD-258 card—even if you live outside their state.
Common Reasons You May Need FD-258
- Out-of-state professional licensing (healthcare, education, security, real estate, etc.)
- Federal employment & contractor checks
- Adoption & foster care
- Immigration-related requests (when card is specified)
- Name change, court requirements, or personal record review
- Certain finance/industry registrations (when the agency requests FD-258)
Always follow your requesting agency’s instructions for number of cards, ORI, and mailing address.
