Live Scan fingerprinting is a digital method of capturing your fingerprints using an electronic scanner instead of ink. Your fingerprints are taken and securely sent to authorized agencies like the FBI or state databases for background checks. It is fast, clean, and more accurate than traditional ink fingerprinting.
To get fingerprinted, you usually book an appointment at an authorized fingerprinting location. At your visit, your identity is verified, and your fingerprints are captured using a digital scanner. The data is then securely submitted to the required agency for processing, such as the FBI or state authorities.
Ink fingerprinting uses physical ink and paper to capture prints, which are then mailed for processing. Live Scan is digital and captures fingerprints electronically, sending them directly to agencies. Live Scan is faster, cleaner, and more accurate, while ink fingerprinting is older and takes longer to process.
Yes, you must bring a valid government-issued photo ID such as a passport, driver’s license, or national ID card. This is required to verify your identity before fingerprinting. Without proper ID, the fingerprinting process cannot be completed, as it is a key step for security and compliance.
