Fingerprints on paper, cardboard and unfinished wood can last for up to forty years (per actual casework histories) unless exposed to water (and contaminate transfer prints can even then sometimes persist).
Many times, a simple police report can be linked to these fingerprint records also. This could include vehicle accidents, insurance information and statements you made. When you request the fingerprint background check, it might take from a couple of weeks to a month to deliver results via mail. You can also choose the electronic application method for processing. You can have these fingerprint records authenticated (or a certificate of apostille) if you want from the FBI.
