In NSW finger printing for licences is done at most stations
I found it quite funny actually when I went and had my fingerprints taken, which by the way as of November 1st 2012 now costs $40 to have done in NSW! As above though, my understanding is that you could attend any police station to get it done in NSW there was no requirement to visit only certain stations.
I went to my local station (Raymond Terrace) and the guys took me out the back and used a digital scanning machine (who knows what kind or model it was) and it was done in a couple of minutes. I had done mobile patrols in the same area as they policed and I knew a few of the officers in there by name so it was a pretty laid back experience.
Another guard who I was working with recently told me about how he went to a police station, without calling in advance and from what I can gather be basically told the officers it was their job to accommodate him to get the fingerprints done as he was running out of time to submit his forms. The officers kindly obliged this rude individual and took his prints ... using the ink pad. 3 weeks later his paperwork was returned and he was told that his fingerprints had been deemed unable to be read and he would need to go back and do it all again.
Just goes to show a little respect goes a long way when working with other departments.
