Live Scan Fingerprinting

We offer Live Scan Fingerprinting using the most advanced equipment and software currently on the market. Live scan fingerprinting is the process of capturing fingerprints electronically using a computer and a scanner. It is convenitent, fast, accurate and has a very low (2%) rejection rate. This digital technology replaces the "ink roll method" which required the use of ink and cards. This method was messy and led to poor fingerprint image quality and rejections. Live Scan provides the fingerprint technician with the opportunity to retake a print several times to ensure they are capturing the best image quality possible. We offer this service both at our facilities as well as our Mobile Service where we bring the equipment to your home or office. Our experienced technicians will assist applicants with the required paperwork which needs to be processed for live scan fingerprinting. We will also explain in detail what is required by rhe applicant in order to retrieve the results from the background check as quickly as possible. After correctly inputting the correct personal applicant data, scanning and then processing fingerprints electroncally there are three possible options:
Option 1:
Submit the data electronically
directly to the requesting agency to complete the
background check. Applicant will receive an ORI
Number which corresponds to their specific digital
fingerpring file so they can reference it for retrieval
purposes. This option greatly speeds up the fingerprint
criminal history responses in terms of getting results
much quicker, often times 1 to 3 days.
Option 2:
The personal data and digitized
prints can be printed on Standard Fingerprint Cards FD258.
This method is known as "hard copy printing". This is
done using special laser printers which produce perfect
printed demographc information which line up exactly
inside their required fields. The captured fingerprints
print perfectly on the fingerprint card, centered in
each box making a crisp, clear impression with a high
degree of minutia and ridge detail. The cards can then
be mailed to the requesting agency with an extremely
high probability of acceptance.
Option 3:
Sometimes the captured fingerprints
and personal information cannot be sent directly to the
requesting agency for processing. This happens when
requests are made for interstate background checks.
For example getting printed in New York and submitting
to California or Florida. In these cases our staff will
refer applicants to "card scanning partners" we use
which can act as intermediaries who in turn transmit
the data directly to the agenies in the other states.
We inform the applicant of the entire process from
beginning to end so they know what is happening at all
times.
