For citizens who reside outside of the Village of Plainfield, there is a $20 fee for fingerprinting services. Digital fingerprinting utilizing LiveScan is only permitted for those seeking their criminal history record known as Access and Review. For any other purposes that require digital fingerprinting, please refer to the Illinois State approved LiveScan vendors.
