INSTRUCTIONS

In any case in which the defendant is charged with a felony, the court must require the defendant to provide 

a  right  thumbprint  on  this  form.  Unless  the  court  has  obtained  the  thumbprint  at  an  earlier  proceeding,  it 

must do so at the arraignment on the information or indictment, or upon entry of a guilty or no contest plea 

under Penal Code section 859a. In the event the defendant is convicted, this form is to be attached to the 

minute order reflecting the defendant's sentence and is permanently maintained in the court file. Please see 

Penal  Code  section  992  for  further  information,  including  what  to  do  when  the  defendant  is  physically 

unable to give a right thumbprint.

For  a  proper  imprint  and  durable  record,  this  form  should  be  printed  on  paper  that  meets  California 

Department  of  Justice  specifications:  a  99–pound  white  tab  card  or  100–pound  white  tab  stock  0.0070 

inch  thick  (0.0066  through  0.0074  inch  is  acceptable).  Paper  smoothness  should  be  100–140  Sheffield 

units. The form should be printed with the grain left to right.
