What is Live Scan Fingerprinting? The Modern Standard for Accuracy
Live Scan Fingerprinting services utilize advanced electronic fingerprinting devices that capture your fingerprints digitally. Unlike traditional ink-and-roll methods, Live Scan immediately transmits your fingerprint images, along with your demographic data, to the requesting agency (e.g., California Department of Justice, FBI, or other state/federal agencies) for background checks. This digital process offers several significant advantages:
- Increased Accuracy: Digital capture eliminates smudges, smears, and other common errors associated with ink prints, leading to a much higher rate of acceptable submissions.
- Faster Processing: Fingerprints are transmitted electronically, significantly reducing the time it takes for background check results to be returned compared to mail-in ink cards.
- Efficiency: The digital process is quick, clean, and efficient, ensuring a smoother experience for you.
- Real-Time Feedback: The Live Scan system often provides immediate feedback on print quality, allowing for retakes on the spot if needed, further minimizing delays.
We ensure you understand the benefits of this modern approach and how it streamlines your background check process.
