    Default fingerprinting?

    Where is the best place to get fingerprints taken? Website of a police station near me said 10 bucks. Is that the going rate? I'm in phoenixville (chester county).

    Check with your County Sheriff and local State Police barracks.. depends what it's for..
    I needed mine for a Federal Security background check and both said free..
    I have heard of folks that needed it for out of state CC Permits or civilian jobs and the answer runs the gambit from Free / charge / will not do it..

    I believe Sheriff's offices are usually a bit friendlier since they rely on your vote to keep their job

    Just way up North on the NY Border they are up to their armpits with LTCF applications.

    Good luck

    Around here the local PD's charge $10-$20, but often do it for free for tax paying residents.

    Thanks it's for an out of state CC permit. I saw the ups store does it too. I'll call around to the local law enforcement tomorrow.

    Throw a brick through a store window in the middle of the day. Wait for the police. Guaranteed you'll get fingerprinted for free.

    On second thought, that might not be a good idea.

    Watch out. That might be considered illegal activity.
    They do it in Bucks, but I'm not sure if they charge.

    Schulykill township police do it but they close at 3 every day. That's annoying. I'll keep looking.
