I guess it might depend if you lived out in a rural area or in a major city. My assumption is that these fingerprinting facilities are located mostly in major metropolitan areas. So it is conceivable that you might have to travel significant distances to get to one if you live in the boonies.

Heck I lived only about 25 miles from where I had to do it, but with morning traffic and finding parking, it took about 1 hour :P
