No longer is the old ink and roller method used, instead a state of the art digital scanner is used to collect the fingerprints. This method ensures that "good" prints are captured without the mess and inconvenience of ink. Review of Then & Now

The Sheriff's Office fee for fingerprinting is $10.00 CASH for each fingerprint card and $1.00 for each additional card over three.

We DO NOT provide fingerprinting for Immigration and Naturalization Service. To better ensure both the quality and integrity of the process, USCIS processes fingerprint cards for immigration benefits only if an authorized fingerprint site prepares them. USCIS schedules people to be fingerpinted at an authorized fingerprint site after an application or petition has been filed. USCIS charges $50.00 per person (for most applicants) at the time of filing for this fingerprinting service. Please visit the USCIS website for a list of authorized site. www.uscis.gov

There are no requirements for fingerprinting to obtain a United States passport.

If you are parents, the Cobb County Sheriff's Office will provide you with fingerprint cards of your children for free. The actual cards and information are not maintained by this agency but are provided to the legal guardians for safe-keeping. The fingerprint cards may prove invaluable in the event of a lost child. This service is offered to protect the welfare of all children.
