LIVE SCAN/INK-CARD FINGERPRINTING

We use state-of-the-art equipment, optical fingerprint recognition, verification and identification. We utilize both Fingerprint cards and Live Scan (Electronic Fingerprinting). Our technicians are trained and certified. You can rest assured that you’ll receive the highest quality work and best possible results when dealing with us.

LiveScan (Electronic) Fingerprinting

This service includes capturing fingerprints that are electronically forwarded to the Maryland Criminal Justice Information System and FBI, who then use the fingerprints and personal information to run a complete criminal history record check (CHRC). From this information, the regulatory agency and employer determine if there is anything in the records that would disqualify the individual from serving in the program/profession/or obtaining the applied license.

To save time while at the office, please print and complete the Livescan Fingerprinting form and bring with you along with a valid photo ID.
