Prevent FBI Fingerprint Rejections American DataBank

110 16th

Street, 8th

Floor

Denver, CO 80202

The FBI only allows ONE submission per one payment. Therefore, applicants are encouraged to submit two rolled

fingerprint cards for their single submission to the FBI. This increases applicants’ chances of the FBI accepting one of the

two fingerprint cards. Please note: fingerprint rejections are at the sole discretion of the FBI.

The FBI has sole discretion on the acceptance of fingerprints. Here are some tips to help prevent your fingerprints from rejection:

Reasons for Rejections of Fingerprints by the FBI:

· Poor penmanship or fingerprint quality

· Submission on non-standard fingerprint card

· Use of pencil or ink other than blue or black

· Missing or invalid required data (i.e. date of birth)

· Descriptive data not complete (i.e. name not

shown at top of card)
