Question 1

What is LiveScan fingerprinting

Accepted Answer

Livescan fingerprinting is the use of our advanced livescan devices to capture fingerprints electronically. We then transmit these images directly to state and federal agencies through a secured channel. This technology allows for a much quicker and more secure method than traditional ink fingerprinting.

Livescan fingerprinting uses a digital scanner. It’s as simple as placing your fingers on a glass plate while our technician assists in rolling them back and forth to get the best possible image.

- 2 cards - $35.00
- Every card after the first 2 - $10.00

Can you reprint recent fingerprints

Even though the fingerprint records are still in the computer for approximately 90 days, we are prohibited from re-using/submitting old fingerprints and information for new background checks.
