Fingerprinting outside of NH

 

Fingerprinting is required by the NH Department of Safety (DoS) to complete a criminal history record check and have a report sent to our office. Below are the directions for fingerprinting if you are located outside New Hampshire.

Fingerprint Ink Cards

Step 1

Fingerprinting in a US state other than New Hampshire: You may use the fingerprint ink card available in your state.

Fingerprinting outside of the United States: Contact the NH DoS to obtain the correct fingerprint ink card. The NH DoS will not accept fingerprint ink cards from countries other than the United States.
