Police Identification and Administrative Section
The Identification and Administrative Section consists of the Ten Print Unit and houses the MNPD’s Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS). Fingerprint specialists utilize AFIS to search arrestee fingerprint submissions that are received electronically from a booking station. Submissions are then searched against a database of 500,000+ prints for potential candidates. Following search results, a fingerprint specialist makes the final determination of identity. Additional duties of the Ten Print Unit include providing fingerprinting to the public for civil purposes, identifying/confirming fingerprints of arrested persons, comparing prints in cases of false identity, and comparing and identifying prints of deceased.
Fingerprinting
Fingerprint cards can be made for the general public. No appointments are taken and you must provide a US government identification. The cost is $9.00 each and $1.00 for each additional card. Cash, checks and credit cards are accepted. A fee of 2.3% will be added to credit card purchases. We do not fingerprint for immigration or state handgun permits.
The Ten Print Unit is temporarily closed due to COVID-19.
