Ink Fingerprinting

Sensitive Times Calls for Sensitive Measures.

Ink fingerprinting is used by government agencies, licensing boards, employers, and organizations to verify identity and complete background investigations.

Unlike digital fingerprinting, ink fingerprinting uses traditional FD-258 fingerprint cards that are mailed or submitted directly to the requesting agency. Many out-of-state licensing boards, federal agencies, and international organizations specifically require ink fingerprint cards.

Our mobile fingerprinting service brings the equipment directly to your home, office, hospital, or other agreed-upon location, making the process convenient, accurate, and stress-free.

Why Ink Fingerprinting?

Some agencies still require traditional ink fingerprints because they can be mailed internationally, submitted to federal agencies, or processed by organizations that do not accept electronic fingerprints.

Ink fingerprinting is often required when:

✔ You are applying in another state

✔ Your licensing board specifically requests FD-258 cards

✔ Electronic Live Scan is unavailable

✔ An employer requires physical fingerprint cards

✔ International agencies require original fingerprint cards
