An FD-258 is a fingerprint form used when you apply for an FBI background check certificate; The FD-258 is a standard American from but it is accepted worldwide. For example, the FD-258 can be used when you need to submit a background check certificate to countries other than the USA.
Before you have your fingerprints taken, you should ask the institution or organization to which you are to submit your fingerprints if they accept the FD-258. You should also make sure if they accept digital fingerprints or only ink fingerprints. Fingerprint Room Japan offers both digital and ink fingerprinting.
You may be required to use a specific form specified by the institution or organization. If that is the case, please don’t forget to bring the form with you on the day of your appointment.
In Japan you can go to the police for fingerprinting, however your fingerprint form will not be accepted overseas due to the lack of signature or official seal. You will be required to visit a notary office with a notary public to have your form signed, sealed and notarized. Fingerprint Room Japan offers support and assistance to those who are facing these difficulties.
