Frequently Asked Questions About Ink Fingerprinting
What is the difference between ink fingerprinting and Live Scan?
Ink fingerprinting uses traditional ink to capture fingerprints on physical fingerprint cards, while Live Scan captures fingerprints electronically. Some agencies specifically require ink fingerprint cards, while others accept digital fingerprinting.
Which fingerprint card do I need?
The required fingerprint card depends on the requesting agency. If you’re unsure, bring any instructions you received, and we’ll help ensure the correct card is used.
Do I need to bring my own fingerprint cards?
Not necessarily. We can provide standard FBI FD-258 fingerprint cards, or we can fingerprint on cards supplied by your employer or agency.
Can you fingerprint children?
Yes. We provide fingerprinting services for both adults and children when required by an agency or organization.
What if my fingerprints were rejected previously?
Our trained fingerprinting professionals use proper techniques to capture clear, high-quality fingerprints. If you have experienced a rejection before, we’ll take extra care to help produce the best possible fingerprint impressions.

Appointments are recommended to ensure prompt service, although walk-ins may be accommodated based on availability.

Please bring a valid government-issued photo ID and any fingerprint cards or application forms provided by the requesting agency, if applicable.
