FINGERPRINT SERVICES PROVIDED BY MONTGOMERY COUNTY POLICE 


                                                                                 

 

NOTE:  WE DO NOT FINGERPRINT FOR INS.  This is at the request of Immigration and Naturalization Services, who prefers to do their own fingerprinting.  If INS has requested that you have a background check, please call them at 1-800-375-5283 for further information.

 

Until further notice, fingerprinting will not be available at Montgomery County Police Headquarters.  Please visit any of the following police stations for fingerprinting services.

 

Due to unforseen circumstances, fingerprinting services may be temporarily suspended.  Please call ahead before you arrive to the station at which you intend to be fingerprinted.

IN ORDER TO BE FINGERPRINTED, YOU MUST:  

  • Be a Montgomery County resident, work in county, or are applying for a job in Montgomery County.  If you do not live in the County, your employer must provide us with a letter, on their letterhead, displaying a Montgomery County address.  The letter must state that they require you to be fingerprinted for employment with their company. You must have proof of current County Residency. By Maryland law you have 60 days to correct the address with MVA if the address is incorrect or no longer current on your MD driver's license or MD ID card. During the 60-day grace-period, you may use a current utility bill, deed, and or lease agreement as proof of current County residence.
     
  • Have a picture identification card, which has been government issued.  An example would be a Maryland driver’s license, a Motor Vehicle Administration ID card, and a government ID (such as IDs from the US Department of Justice or State Department, etc.).  There is Military exception, which requires a current Military ID, along with a current utility bill, deed, and or lease agreement.
     
  • Be a student whose permanent residence is out-of-state.  You must bring your out-of-state driver’s license, as well as your student ID. Also required is proof of current Montgomery County residence in the form of a current utility bill, deed, lease agreement, bank statement, or pay stub.
     
  • Bring your fingerprint cards with you.  We do not provide fingerprint cards. The cards are provided by the organization requesting that you be fingerprinted. We will not provide FBI fingerprint cards as they must be pre-printed with information that we do not have. If you have not been given cards by the organization requesting them, please contact that organization.
