Getting Fingerprinted
Subject getting fingerprinted
If you wish to make use of the fingerprinting services we provide to the community, the fee is $10.00 for up to two sets of prints and $3.00 for each additional set of prints.

It will be necessary for you to provide us with current picture ID at the time of your printing.

We now use Live Scan "inkless" fingerprinting technology, which will print out fingerprint cards for you. This technology complies with all national standards and formats and can be used in place of inked cards, regardless of where the cards are being submitted. If an agency you are applying to has given you a fingerprint card, or an ORI (Originating Agency Identifier) number, please bring that information so that we can transfer the information to your scanned and printed card.

Our fingerprinting services are provided at:

King County Courthouse
516 Third Avenue
Room W-150
Seattle, Washington

Our hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., weekdays, excluding holidays. Because services must be completed by 4:30 p.m., please make sure you come in to our office by 4:00 p.m. You may also obtain our fingerprinting service at some of our precincts; however, you need to call ahead for an appointment. No appointment is necessary at the Courthouse location.
