Can you have your fingerprint removed from the FBI database?

No, you can't: once your fingerprints are submitted to FBI they cannot be removed, even if your case was expunged or you were exonerated. However, the FBI has strict guidelines by which they handle such fingerprints. With the exception of federal crimes, the FBI is not a repository for criminal records. Fingerprints stored on their database can only be accessed by police, and only for criminal investigative reasons, such as to match latent fingerprints with any which may be in their database. One exception to this rule is that certain agencies-- those which deal with jobs involving working with children, the elderly or disabled-- can submit fingerprints to match against the fingerprints on their database, and only if the subject was convicted of a crime which involves working with children, the elderly or disabled, such as abuse, violence, or sex crimes.
