Can You Get Fingerprinted At A Police Station

Yes, you can typically get fingerprinted at a police station. Many local police departments and sheriff’s offices provide fingerprinting services to the public^[6]. For example, the Glendale Police Department offers fingerprinting services at their station when available, though appointments may be required and services may be temporarily suspended at times^[1]. It is important to bring valid identification such as a driver’s license, state ID card, or passport.

Not all police departments offer fingerprinting to the general public; some may limit services, refer you to other locations, or require appointments^[3]. Before visiting, it is best to contact your local police station or check their website for current hours, appointment requirements, and fees associated with fingerprinting services^[6]. Additionally, Live Scan fingerprinting and traditional ink fingerprinting may be available at various locations, including police stations and private providers^[5].
