fingerprint card from their local law enforcement agency and submit directly to
IDEMIA/IdentoGO processing center.

with a starting price of $55.75. Louisiana State Police does not set nor collect any portion of these
fees.

Applicants will be given the option to pay by credit/debit card, business
check/money order, or authorization/coupon code. Business checks and money orders should be
made out to either IDEMIA or IdentoGO. Prepaid coupon codes may be obtained in advance
through the IdentoGO website at https://www.identogo.com

reschedule at no additional cost.
