Certification of Designated Outside Entities to Take Fingerprints

摘要

The Immigration and Naturalization Service (Service) is proposing to certify designated outside entities (DOEs) to take fingerprints of applicants for immigration benefits. This rule would establish eligibility criteria and application procedures to certify DOEs. The proposed rule would facilitate processing of applications for immigration benefits and protect the integrity of the fingerprinting process, while relieving the strain on Service resources.
