How can I get fingerprinted for a job application?
Presently the Forensic Services Unit does not provide fingerprinting services to the general public. The exceptions to this are police personnel, City of Durham requests and Guardian Ad Litem Representatives. Appointments must be made in advance with the unit secretary at 919-560-4432. If you are in need of the service and do not qualify under the exceptions above, you may contact the following agencies:

Durham County Sheriff’s Office - 919-560-0905
State Bureau of Investigation, Raleigh - 919-662-4500
City/County Bureau of Identification, Raleigh - 919-856-6300
