What Is Ink and Roll Fingerprinting?
Ink and roll fingerprinting is a traditional biometric identification method in which each finger is coated with a controlled amount of ink and then carefully rolled across a fingerprint card from one side of the nail to the other. The result is a full, detailed ridge impression that can be submitted to government agencies, licensing boards, and law enforcement databases.
Unlike digital live scan fingerprinting, ink and roll fingerprinting produces a physical card that many agencies still require. Courts, federal agencies, certain state licensing boards, and international bodies frequently mandate paper-based ink and roll fingerprinting cards because they carry an original signature and can be mailed directly to the requesting organization.
Our team at Houston Fingerprint is fully equipped to complete ink and roll fingerprinting on standard FD-258 cards and any specialized forms your agency requires. We keep a stock of approved cards on hand, so you never have to worry about sourcing the right materials on your own.

Our Ink and Roll Fingerprinting Process
We have refined our ink and roll fingerprinting process to be fast, clean, and stress-free. From the moment you arrive, you will be greeted by a professional who guides you through each step without rushing or cutting corners.
Step 1: Identity Verification
You will present a valid government-issued photo ID such as a driver's license, state ID, or passport. Our technician records your identifying information on the fingerprint card exactly as required by the requesting agency.
Step 2: Ink Application and Rolling
A precise, even coat of ink is applied to each finger. The technician then carefully rolls each finger across the designated box on the card, capturing the full ridge pattern from nail edge to nail edge. Flat impressions and four-finger slaps are also taken to satisfy standard card requirements.
Step 3: Quality Review
Every completed card is reviewed before you leave. If any impression is unclear, we redo it immediately at no additional charge. Our rejection rate is exceptionally low because we never hand over a card we would not be confident submitting ourselves.
Step 4: Card Packaging and Delivery
Your completed ink and roll fingerprinting card is allowed to dry fully, then packaged in a protective sleeve or envelope. If your agency requires multiple copies, we prepare them all in one visit. We can also help you address and mail your cards if needed.
