Leicestershire Police Fingerprinting service
Members of the public sometimes require their fingerprints to be taken for a number of reasons, including:
- When applying for a visa
- When looking to foster or adopt a child
- When looking to work in schools
- If you have worked overseas and require checks to be carried out by the country you have worked in to ensure you have no criminal convictions when applying for certain jobs in the UK
