- Fee / route notes
- One approved vendor lists $62 to send fingerprints to the Division of Insurance and appears on the list dated8.26.26. Other vendors set their own prices; $62 is not a statewide rate. The Department hard-card fee is $40, sent with the card to the Department rather than DPS; local capture may cost extra. A breakdown of the $62 vendor total is unavailable.
