Services

The FD-258 Print to Card Service provided by Pasadena Live Scan Service involves the conversion of digital fingerprints to the traditional FBI FD-258 fingerprint cards, commonly required for background checks in various contexts. This service is especially beneficial for those who need to submit physical fingerprint cards for federal purposes, such as ATF applications, out-of-state licensing, and FBI submissions when digital transmission is not acceptable.
