  Does the Umatilla Police Department do fingerprinting?
  -Umatilla Police Department does complete fingerprinting services on a walk in basis. We ask that you call 10-15 minutes before walking in to ask if an officer is available. Emergency calls will always take priority over fingerprinting services. The cost for this service is $15 for the first fingerprint card and $5 for each additional card. You will need to bring cash or check as we do not have debit/credit card capability. You will also need to bring photo identification.
