Live Scan Fingerprinting is the process of capturing fingerprints electronically for submission to specific agencies, archiving, or fingerprint card printing. Used by governmental agencies and big corporations for over a decade, advancements in technology have now made it possible for independent companies to secure portable fingerprint labs suitable for use in the field.
The innovative LiveScan technology method involves:
Fingerprints are captured on a smooth, clean screen. The machine is able to detect unusable fingerprint captures, all but eliminating the chances fingerprints will be rejected during processing.
Fingerprints are electronically transmitted immediately. Results can be obtained via email in as little as 3 – 48 hours.
Archive Your Prints
Because they are taken and processed electronically, prints taken with LiveScan technology can be stored as part of our Fingerprint Archiving system. This allows clients with frequent fingerprint requirements to simply call and have their prints forwarded to a specified destination.
Fingerprints are a primary method for establishing a person’s identity. In addition to criminal cases, they are often used for:
- Background checks for employment, tenancy, adoption, etc.
- Obtaining government contracts
- Professional licenses
- FINRA registration
- Establishing identity in a foreign country (Apostile)
- Establishing the identity of missing persons (KidScan)
Fingerprint Cards
Fingerprint cards are the traditional method of fingerprint collection.
Fingerprint cards may be captured by using live scan fingerprint capture with cards printed.
Digital prints are less messy and less time consuming than traditional ink prints.
Our digital print to card system will ensure that you are in and out in a flash.

The Purpose of Fingerprinting
Why Setting a Fingerprinting Appointment Can Be a Challenge
If you’ve never scheduled an appointment to get fingerprinted before (and even if you have), figuring out where to go and what to do to get it done can be confusing, frustrating, and time-consuming.
For one thing, the agency requesting that you get fingerprinted will often leave it up to you to figure out what options are available, which are required, and how to get it done quickly and easily, so you run the risk of doing the wrong thing and having to start over.
Then there’s the inconvenience. Most county sheriff’s offices provide fingerprinting services, but having to make an appointment in advance, get there, find parking, and wait in line for hours to get it done is a hassle.

What kind of Mobile Fingerprinting services do we offer?
Ink fingerprinting is the simplest and most common way of collecting your fingerprints.
Here’s how it works:
The fingerprinting technician will capture your fingerprints by applying a special, easy-to-clean ink to your fingers, and then rolling them onto a fingerprint card, which has spaces for each of your fingers, on both hands. The technician will provide the cards, if you need them.
The process takes about 5 to 10 minutes to complete, depending on the number of cards.
Once your fingerprints have been captured, the technician will certify them by signing and dating the card. You’ll then finish filling out the information at the top of the card, and once it’s complete, you’ll mail it to the necessary address.
The results will usually be mailed back to you in about 4 to 6 weeks.
For more information or to schedule your appointment, call us today.
Live Scan is an electronic fingerprinting technology that makes capturing your fingerprints, getting them to the appropriate agency for review, and getting back the results faster and easier than the ink method.
Here’s what the Live Scan process typically looks like:
First, your technician will ask you for contact information and details about your physical description, such as your height, weight, and hair color. They’ll enter that information into a computer.
Once they verify your identity, the technician will then roll your fingers onto the screen of a special scanner, which will be connected to a computer that uses special software. Your fingerprints will be captured as electronic images and saved as a data file.
Because it’s electronic, the process is much simpler, and the images are clearer and rarely, if ever, rejected.
Once collected, Your fingerprints can be delivered to the receiving agency in two ways:
Print-to-card: They can be printed onto an FD-258 card and then mailed. We can even electronically archive your data file so you can have additional copies printed later.
Electronic transmission: Using special software, the data file containing your fingerprints can be electronically transmitted to the FBI, FINRA, or the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE).
The whole Live Scan fingerprinting process usually takes about 5 minutes or less.
Once your fingerprints have been reviewed, your results will be sent back within about 48 hours. The agency will either email the results to you or they’ll send you a link to log into a web portal where you can retrieve the results.
