How KREC takes fingerprints
KREC accepts two routes. Its instructions describe Live Scan at a Kansas location as the main route, with mailed cards for applicants unable to complete Live Scan in Kansas.
| Route | How it works | Can we help? |
|---|---|---|
| Live Scan in Kansas | Electronic prints sent to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation from a Kansas location, such as some law enforcement agencies, the KBI in Topeka or KREC’s listed testing-center locations. | No. Our office is in Missouri and we do not submit Kansas Live Scan. |
| FD-258 card by mail | A standard FD-258 card completed with KREC’s ORI and reason code, mailed to KREC with the required waiver. | Yes. We roll the card, complete the KREC fields and supply a mailing envelope. |
Read KREC’s fingerprinting page and the REL-150 waiver form before booking. The page lists the card fields (including KREC’s ORI, KS920120Z), the fee and where to send the card and waiver.
KREC describes the mailed card route for applicants unable to complete Live Scan in Kansas. If you live or work near a Kansas Live Scan site, check KREC’s current guidance first, or send us your instructions and we will help you read them.

More questions? Call (816) 442-0295 or send us your agency’s instructions.
Does the Kansas Real Estate Commission accept FD-258 fingerprint cards?
Yes, by mail. KREC describes the mailed FD-258 card route for applicants unable to complete Live Scan at a Kansas location. The card must be completed with KREC’s ORI and reason code and sent with the REL-150 waiver.
Can you submit Kansas Live Scan for my real estate license?
No. Kansas Live Scan is submitted from Kansas locations directly to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation. We provide FD-258 cards for the mailed route.
I’m getting licensed in both Kansas and Missouri. Can one appointment cover both?
Often, if you live in Kansas. Missouri uses its MACHS system and IdentoGO, but out-of-state residents can choose card processing and mail an FD-258 card. In that case we can roll your Kansas card and your Missouri card in one visit. Missouri residents must visit IdentoGO for the Missouri step. See Missouri real estate license fingerprinting.
