race87 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 I need to have my fingerprints taken for a FBI background check. Does anyone know where to get this done and how much it may cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywais Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 I believe the police station on Huay Kaew road past the university on the way to Doi Suthep may be able to do it. Or possibly any of the major police stations. On the FBI website, you can download the fingerprint form, print it out on card stock and supply that to the police station.

zippydedodah Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 (edited) Tywais: i believe the OP needs prints to be taken for an FBI check, not a "police station"... having done this myself (in USA), i know they will only accept FP cards from a certified service... basically like a notary service along with the FP taking... otherwise you could send in anyone's FP if you have something to hide... My suggestion is to find out from FBI what foreign services that the FBI will accept/allow to take the prints then send those in...perhaps the US consulate knows?

khwaibah Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 FBI Background Check From Thailand - If you're already in Thailand, the easiest way to get a criminal background check is to appear at the Royal Thai Police Headquarters on Rama I Road in downtown Bangkok. They'll take your fingerprints at no charge. You can then send them to the FBI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had my fingerprints done for the FBI background check a year ago and I know they're good for 18 months. Would you know if they would still have them on file and use from my previous background check? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was also a requirement for applying for permanent residency and had checked into it sometime ago. Individuals may NOT fingerprint themselves; fingerprints MUST be obtained from a law enforcement agency or through Accurate Biometrics, pursuant to the DO Requirements. http://www.accuratebiometrics.com/fingerprinting_FBI_Procedures.html FBI Fingerprint Card Go to a major police station in your area. . embassies and consulates do not provide this service. U.S. citizens can obtain a letter from the U.S. Consulate asking local police experts to take their fingerprints. There is a $50 fee for this letter. You need to make an appointment for notarial services to obtain it http://barcelona.usconsulate.gov/citizen-services/other/police.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rancid Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Fortunately now due to the eternal and (of course very profitable) war on terrorism finger prints now come with an added bonus, a full internal check. BYO vaseline recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharktooth Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 I was finger printed years ago in Thailand by the police and it was a joke. Ten big inky smears on a piece of bog roll is the best way to describe the result! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to the one in the middle of the city today (near Prah Singh) and they said they couldn't do and told me to go to Mae Rim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
