The Caldwell County Sheriff’s Office offers this online service as a convenience to the community. In addition to the fingerprint fee of $7, the system will charge a per transaction fee for the convenience of applying and paying for your fingerprints online. The service fee is not collected by the Sheriff. This fee is paid to the company that provides this order, payment and processing system to the public.
