Will FBI accept the RCMP fingerprint form?

[bubbles26]

Hi! I have 4 RCMP fingerprint forms completed that I haven't used and i'm in a remote area so I don't have access to a fingerprinting company. Now they are asking for an FBI police certificate, will the FBI accept the RCMP forms?

Fingerprints for FBI need to in FD258 template. I am not sure if RCMP follows that template. I presume they may not as the template is something US specific.

Thank you for answering! I've decided to submit all of the fingerprints I have in both formats in case some are better than the others! We'll see! Any idea how long the process actually takes? It says 10-12 weeks but I'm hoping it's a lot less jaja

I think around 50 days. I got it long back.

Nope. The FBI is very clear that you have to submit fingerprints on their form.

Suggest not to do this. It could hamper your application progress as they might feel you didn't send in proper format. Not sure what makes you feel that sending your application in both forms makes it better. They might be entering the form in some machine to generate the report. If you provide a machine unreadable format, then it's of zero use.
