(Fingerprinting Express has the required FD258 fingerprint cards in stock.) You can then submit two fingerprint cards or your Livescan Fingerprint Verification Form signed and stamped by us with your application or provide a verification form from your fingerprint vendor stating that you had your fingerprints taken using Livescan electronic submission.
