FAQ

Straight answers.

Where can I get fingerprinted in Detroit?+

You don't have to go anywhere. If you're searching for ink fingerprinting near me, where to get fingerprinted, or where to get ink fingerprints done in Detroit, Certified Fingerprinting is a mobile ink fingerprinting service that comes to your home, office, or workplace anywhere in Metro Detroit.

What is ink fingerprinting, and do I need it?+

Ink fingerprinting is the traditional method where all ten fingers are rolled in ink onto an FD-258 card. Many agencies still require ink fingerprint cards rather than digital scans — for licensing, employment screening, background checks, and out-of-state submissions. If your agency asked for an FD-258 card, ink fingerprinting is what you need.

Do you offer same day ink fingerprinting?+

Often, yes. Same day ink fingerprinting appointments are available depending on our schedule and your location. Weekday after-hours slots run to 9:00 PM and weekends are open too, so if you need mobile fingerprinting in Detroit today, call (313) 880-3494 and we'll tell you the soonest window.

Is a deposit required?+

Yes — a non-refundable deposit is required at the time of booking to reserve your appointment. The remaining balance is due at the appointment: major debit/credit cards or cash only. We do not accept American Express.

What area do you serve for mobile fingerprinting?+

Detroit and Metro Detroit. Our mobile ink fingerprinting travel fee is $50 for the first 10 miles from our base location, then $5 per additional mile on weekdays. Weekend travel is $100 for the first 10 miles, then $8 per additional mile.

How much does ink fingerprinting cost per person?+

$50 per person for the first card. For a limited time, each additional card is only $15 — plus the travel fee for mobile fingerprinting to your address.

Do you take after-hours appointments?+

Yes. Weekday after-hours run from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM with an automatic $60 upcharge on the total. Weekend after-hours run from 3:00 PM to 9:00 PM with an $85 upcharge. We do not schedule past 9:00 PM on any day.

Where do I get fingerprints done for a job or license?+

Most employers and licensing boards accept a completed FD-258 ink fingerprint card. Instead of driving downtown or sitting in a police station lobby, we bring ink fingerprinting to you — one visit, cleanly rolled prints, and the card in your hands the same appointment.
