Fingerprinting

The Rapid City Police Department offers Live Scan fingerprinting services to the community.  Live Scan is an inkless process where fingerprints and palm prints are electronically recorded.  Inked fingerprints can also be rolled when required.

 

Monday – Thursday: 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Fridays: 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

 

Appointments for fingerprinting can only be made by calling the Criminal Investigation Division at (605) 394-4134 during normal business hours, as listed above.

 

Walk-ins during normal business hours are welcome; however, if others have scheduled appointments, you will be asked to wait until those individuals have been printed. The Criminal Investigation Division is closed on most State and National holidays, so you are encouraged to call ahead before coming into the Department on a “walk-in” basis on those days.  

  

Rolling fee:  $15.90; unless you have a tax exempt status (please note that this feeonlycovers the cost of taking your fingerprints).  Additional fees will be charged by the South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation or Federal Bureau of Investigation for your criminal background record check.

 

Payment must be made with cash or personal check.  Credit cards and debit cards will not be accepted. Payment must be made and valid identification provided to the fingerprint operator before your fingerprints are scanned. 

 

You must bring a valid form of photo identification with you to your appointment.  Valid identification includes a valid driver’s license or State issued identification card, or a valid passport.  No other forms of identification will be accepted for purposes of fingerprinting.
