Fingerprinting Services at Safety LLC — Farmington
FD-258, FD-1164 & SF-87 Fingerprint Cards
ABQ Fingerprinting stocks and prints all standard federal fingerprint cards on site at Safety LLC in Farmington. The FD-258 is required for federal employment, immigration, and out-of-state licensing. The FD-1164 Identity History Summary Request Card is commonly requested by Indian Health Service (IHS) and Navajo Nation contractors and employees in the San Juan County region. The SF-87 is the standard applicant card for federal suitability investigations and security clearance applications. All cards digitally captured via LiveScan — not ink roll. Walk-ins welcome.
FDLE Florida LiveScan
As an FDLE Authorized Vendor, ABQ Fingerprinting submits Florida LiveScan fingerprints directly to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement from our Farmington location. Common for Florida nurses, teachers, real estate agents, and social workers living in New Mexico. Have your ORI number ready — call (877) 340-8822 if you need help locating it.
FBI Background Check — Identity History Summary (DO 556-73)
The FBI Identity History Summary (Departmental Order 556-73) is a personal background check issued directly by the FBI. Results are delivered to you — not to an employer or agency. Common uses include immigration applications, green card petitions, visa requirements, international adoption, and personal records review. Submitted electronically via our VetConnex FBI-authorized channeler. Results typically arrive within 24–48 hours.
NICS Challenge & Voluntary Appeal File
If you were denied or delayed during a firearms purchase NICS check, you have the right to submit a fingerprint-based appeal to the FBI NICS Section. A Voluntary Appeal File (VAF) assigns a unique PIN that speeds future NICS checks for individuals who have been wrongly flagged. Both require certified FD-258 fingerprint cards, produced on site at Safety LLC in Farmington. Walk-ins welcome.
ATF-EFT Fingerprinting for NFA Items
ATF electronic fingerprint files for NFA Form 4 and Form 1 applications — suppressors, short-barreled rifles (SBRs), short-barreled shotguns (SBSs), and gun trusts. Your completed EFT file is delivered by email and loaded onto a flash drive on site. The file never expires and can be reused for future NFA submissions with any FFL dealer. Walk-ins welcome at Safety LLC in Farmington.
FBI Apostille Services
Certified apostille preparation for FBI and state background checks for international employment, visa applications, and immigration documents. Required when submitting a US background check to a foreign government or employer. ABQ Fingerprinting handles the full process — fingerprinting through apostille preparation.

Never Get Fingerprinted Again
