Fingerprinting Services
Fingerprinting services are available through the Madison Police Department for the general public or those applying for professional licenses. The Madison Police Department does not fingerprint juveniles.
The cost for fingerprinting is $10 per card. Acceptable identification to request fingerprinting from MPD Records Services is any valid U.S. state: driver's license, state issued ID or a U.S. passport. Additionally, a valid passport from a different country with a photo will be acceptable. Copies of identification will always be made for MPD. We use the standard FBI fingerprint card (#FD258).
If an individual is requesting fingerprints for immigration purposes, they maybe required to get them at a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration (USCIS) office. The closest facility to Madison is located at 310 East Knapp Street, Room 154 in Milwaukee. Information on fingerprints for juveniles for immirgation purposes can be obtained by calling 800-375-5283.
Fingerprinting services are available Wednesdays and Fridays from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Madison Police Records office located at 211 S. Carroll St., Room GR-10. Fingerprinting is a walk-in service and is done on a first-come, first-serve basis. We do not take appointments.
