Fingerprints Brussels for Americans and Citizens of Other Countries

Fingerprints Brussels provides fingerprinting services for Americans, and citizens of other countries, who require fingerprints for background checks, immigration, employment, and so on. Fingerprints are typically required for FBI criminal record checks (rap sheets). They may also be required for other agencies in other countries.

Save yourself the hassle of contacting police departments or the American Embassy. They DO NOT provide fingerprint services. Fingerprints Brussels is the most convenient location if you are searching for fingerprints in France, fingerprints in Holland, fingerprints in Luxembourg or fingerprints in Belgium.

Fingerprints Brussels is listed as a service on the U.S. Embassy in Belgium website in Brussels (choose FBI Criminal History Record).

Testimonials

"This fingerprint service was a godsend considering the limited options for fingerprint services for Americans in Europe. I was able to schedule and complete the fingerprinting in a timely fashion in Brussels. My only other option was traveling to Paris, and amid COVID-19 border closures that was not possible. Shannon was warm and friendly, prompt and genuine. It was a painless process with a guarantee of service if the fingerprints were not accepted. Highly recommend choosing her over other options! 5 out of 5 stars.”
