Live Scan & Fingerprinting

Secure, certified background checks. Walk-ins welcome—most scans take just 5-10 minutes!

Digital Live Scan

We provide electronic fingerprinting for background checks required for employment, licensing, and certification. Our system transmits your prints directly to the DOJ and/or FBI.


FBI Ink Cards (FD-258)

We also offer traditional ink fingerprinting on the standard FBI FD-258 Hard Card. If you need a physical card for an out-of-state license, immigration purposes, or federal employment, we can assist you.
