Frequently Asked Questions

These are the most commonly asked questions about expatgroup.co Can’t find what you’re looking for? Chat with our team, we’re here to help you.

Does the FBI accept the FD-258 card instead of the FD-1164?

Yes, absolutely. The FBI accepts both FD-258 and FD-1164 fingerprint cards interchangeably for issuing your official background check (Identity History Summary Check). Both forms serve the exact same purpose and hold full federal validity. At our offices, we use the FD-258 card to ensure your application is fully compliant and accepted by the FBI.

What is an FD-1164 Fingerprint Card?

The FD-1164 is a specific form created by the FBI tailored for personal Identity History Summary Checks. Just like the FD-258, it contains spaces for all 10 fingerprints and the applicant’s personal details.

Who needs to submit these fingerprint cards (FD-258 / FD-1164)?

Anyone (U.S. citizens or foreign nationals) who has lived, worked, or studied in the United States and needs their official federal background check (Identity History Summary Check) for visa applications (such as Colombian, Spanish, or other international visas), residency, licensing, or employment.

What is the difference between FD-258 and FD-1164 forms?

Both forms are 10-print fingerprint cards fully accepted by the FBI to issue an Identity History Summary Check (FBI clearance).

  • The FD-1164 is a specific FBI-issued version designed for personal identity requests.

  • The FD-258 is the universal Applicant Fingerprint Card standard.

For official FBI processing purposes, both forms are equivalent and valid. At expatgroup.co, we supply and process the official FD-258 format, ensuring your application is accepted and approved by the FBI without any issues.

Can I get my fingerprints in Barranquilla?

Yes, expatgroup.co offers digital fingerprinting services using advanced FBI-certified scanners in Barranquilla.

Folks have been just a blessing to help me navigating all this without having a significant understanding of the language and a terrible habit of putting this kind of stuff off to a fault. Helped keep me informed and on schedule.

Expatgroup is a great service. They work diligently on your behalf to make sure that all your documents are in order before they submit them to the Migration Service of your behalf. If you have any questions they are willing to meet with you to provide the answers prior to you submitting your application request. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is applying for a visa to live in this wonderful country. Roddy
