Fingerprinting

If a license application requires fingerprinting, please note:

All new applicants whose fingerprints are not on file with the Milwaukee Police Department must report between the hours of 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM (Monday thru Friday, excluding holidays) to the Police Administration Building, 951 N. James Lovell Street (7th St), Room 305 to be fingerprinted. If you have previously been fingerprinted by the Milwaukee Police Department, call (414) 935-7281 to determine whether your fingerprints are still on file. Renewal applicants do not need to be re-fingerprinted by the police department.

The Milwaukee Police Department does offer other miscellaneous fingerprinting services that require a $20 fee for residents and $30 for non-residents.

Any questions regarding which services are offered, call (414) 935-7281.
