Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

You must include two completed (2) blue fingerprint cards (Form FD-258) with your application.

Cards must have complete demographic information (all alias, age, hair/eye color, place of birth, etc.) and be signed by both the applicant and the individual who took the prints. Prints must be free from smudges and be rolled completely from nail bed to nail bed, and from the tip of the finger to below the first knuckle. Incomplete or low quality cards will be rejected, and may delay the issuance of your license.

Fingerprint cards can be mailed to the Division of Professional Licensing, State of Utah Department of Commerce, P.O. Box 146741, Salt Lake City, UT 84114-6741.
