      They probably had you hold your fingers up to a small scanner if you turned 18 in the past 20ish years, not ink and paper fingerprinted you.

      They should fingerprint you. Same as when you get a TSA precheck or global entry thing. There’s a meeting they have to do, in a passports case, usually at the post office, where they take your fingerprints as a part of the biometrics.

      It’s pretty universal for holding a passport in most countries IIRC.

      It’s possible that never happened, but they took my fingerprints both with a passport, my Global Entry, and a DOJ/FBI background check (this one I know takes your fingerprints for sure, had to get a few of these done for work related reasons).
