 Posted: Mon Jul 28, 2008 6:22 pm Post subject: OK to Get Fingerprints Done in Korea? |
 |
|
I was told by washington state police that korea might do fingerprints differently than the US and that they might not be acceptable for a US background check. Has anyone had a problem with this?
I want to get them done at a korean station on their fingerprint cards.
The site search engine didnt turn up any results for this.  |

| I honestly can't speak about Korea. However, I was told the same information about Thailand from Maryland. I thought they might screw it up (highly probable in this country), so I opted for two sets of prints. I also wanted to be safe in case one got smudged in the mail. I had a family member send me the cards from the states. I used them; although, the Thai police looked a bit confused as to why I would not use the Thai card. I did take a look at the Thai card which was virtually identical without English writing. At the end of the day, both sets of prints were accepted. So, I would imagine if they can get it right here, they should be able to get it right in Korea. |

I sent fingerprints to the Canadian RCMP that were taken by Korean police. The fingerprint form was in Korean, but I translated left, right, index, thumb, etc on the form.
After 3.5 months, just got my check in the mail. So, they should take 'em. |

What do you mean, you got a cheque in the mail? For what? |

No, you don't have to get your fingerprints taken.
Some agencies (such as the FBI and some U.S. states) require fingerprints to obtain a background check. Others don't.
Korean Immigration does not require a fingerprint-based background check. A "name search" check is sufficient.
Where did you get out of all this that "we have to get our fingerprints taken?" |

| I printed the form from the FBI website and had my fingerprints done at a Korean police station. There were no problems with the Texas DPS. |

Excuse me for thinking he meant cheque and was using the U.S. spelling. That's a long time to wait. |
