During the registration process in DC, applicants must provide fingerprints to:

  1. The Metropolitan Police Department

  2. The FBI

  3. Both A and B

  4. The Department of Motor Vehicles

The correct answer is: Both A and B

During the registration process in DC, applicants must provide fingerprints to both the Metropolitan Police Department and the FBI. This is because the fingerprints are used to conduct a criminal background check at both the local and federal level. Option A is incorrect because only providing fingerprints to the Metropolitan Police Department would not fulfill the requirement for a federal background check. Option B is incorrect because only providing fingerprints to the FBI would not fulfill the requirement for a local background check. Option D is incorrect because the Department of Motor Vehicles does not conduct background checks for registration in DC.
