I mean in an offical capacity. Either because you have been arrested, or to eliminate your fingerprints from the scene of a crime or any other reason?
I haven't.
I haven't.
Have you ever been fingerprinted
- Thread starter Miss Chicken
- Start date
Yes, it would.
No, but they require taking fingerprints for passports now (thank you very much, USA), and I'll have to do that when I renew my passport in a year or so.
It's more like "thank you very much, EU."
As for myself, I've had to be fingerprinted for a job, to be eliminated at a crime scene (burglary where I worked), and for my driver's license (electronic thumbprint).
Yes, I was fingerprinted at the beginning of my military service. I'm not really worried about that.
But they also took a DNA sample, which is more worrisome due to insurance companies and others wanting to start using that data for their own purposes.

Oh, I had forgotten about that! Took me by surprise. I don't remember doing that in IL.

Maybe. But I'm almost certain the initial demand for that came from the USA. Of course the EU is usually happy to institute such controlling measures themselves also, so I could be wrong (too lazy to look it up).
I've never been fingerprinted, no.
Oh yes, of course I forgot about electronic fingerprints. In that case I have been fingerprinted numerous times going through US customs.
Yes, for military service.
I got my first passport late last year. In my twenty eight years on the planet, I had been out of the country twice before, on a family holiday when I was five to Spain and when I was thirteen and on a School trip to The Rhine Land in Western Germany and I was on one of those old group Passport deals. Anyway, in sorting my Passport, I never had my fingerprints taken. I was interviewed to confirm I was who I said I was and obviously had my photo taken but that was pretty much it.
Same here, I also on a trip with the Scouts a couple of years ago to the local Police Station, we all had our prints taken.
Due to my involvement with Scouting, I've had a couple of CRB checks done, but at the level I've had done, which was a enhanced disclosure check, I've not had my fingerprints taken and taking fingerprints for voluntary work, seems a little overkill, although I suppose it depends on what you'll be carrying out.
Yep, several times for several different reasons over the years.
Back in the '80s, durin' a particular time when the grown ups were worried about child abductions, my mother took me to the mall to be fingerprinted in case anyone tried to snatch me away.
I was fingerprinted when I joined the Army.
I had to be fingerprinted each time I applied to work as a security officer for various companies.
And I was fingerprinted both times I was temporarily detained by the police...

I've been fingerprinted once to buy my co-op... twice to work with youth... twice because I was arrested in peaceful demonstrations... and several times applying for new jobs in corrections. And had DNA collected once to distinguish mine from my assailant's.

I have been fingerprinted several times -all Army related.
Yes, because I was a public school teacher.
Got fingerprinted as part of the process to adopt our oldest two children.
Got fingerprinted when I applied for my securities and life insurance licenses, as well as every time I changed firms.
