Visa and immigration procedures often require your fingerprints on a card with a set format. That is the part we do: we take your fingerprints cleanly and legibly, on the card your procedure asks for.
What the service includes
- All ten fingerprints taken on the FD-258 card.
- Fingerprints on the FD-1164 card, when your procedure asks for it.
- Help working out which card your agency requires.
- Service for foreigners and Colombians, in English and in Spanish.
- The finished card handed to you, ready to submit as your agency instructs.
The FD-258 and FD-1164 cards
These are the two fingerprint card formats most often requested for visa and immigration procedures. The FD-258 holds ten rolled fingerprints plus the plain impressions of the four fingers of each hand and both thumbs, together with the holder's details. The FD-1164 is another format that some applications require instead of, or in addition to, the FD-258. Which one applies to you is set by the agency that asks for your fingerprints.
How the appointment works
- Confirm the card. Ask your agency whether it requires the FD-258, the FD-1164 or another card, and how many copies.
- Book the appointment. Message us on WhatsApp with your name, your city and the card you need.
- Bring your ID. A valid passport or national ID, and the card if you already have one.
- Fingerprinting. Your prints are taken carefully so they come out complete and legible.
- Collect your card. You receive the card with the impressions and submit it as your agency instructs.
What to bring
- A valid passport or national ID.
- The card, if your agency gave you one; if not, ask us about it when you book.
- Your agency's instructions (which card, how many copies).
Frequently asked questions
Do you issue or process any certificate?
No. We only take the fingerprints. What each agency does with them, and how long it takes, depends on that agency.
What is the difference between the FD-258 and the FD-1164 card?
They are two fingerprint card formats. Which one you need depends on what your agency asks for. Check with them before the appointment; if you are unsure, message us and we will help you find out.
Do you serve foreigners?
Yes, foreigners and Colombians alike. We can assist in English and in Spanish.
Do you guarantee the agency will accept the prints?
We cannot guarantee any agency decision. We do make sure the impressions are complete and legible, which is the part we control.
How much does it cost and how do I book?
Booking is by WhatsApp, where we give you the price and availability. It is confirmed in writing before the appointment.
