How Does LiveScan Fingerprinting Work?
LiveScan fingerprinting offers a swift and accurate alternative to traditional ink methods. By capturing fingerprints digitally, it enables rapid electronic transmission to relevant agencies, often delivering background check results within 24 to 72 hours. This process minimizes errors like smudges or incomplete prints, reducing the need for reprints. Additionally, as a paperless system, LiveScan is environmentally friendly, reducing the need for ink and paper.
Preparation: Individuals must complete a LiveScan form specific to the requesting agency or employer, detailing personal information and the purpose of the background check.
Fingerprint Capture: A certified Live Scan trained technician uses an electronic scanner to capture the individual's fingerprints. This device records high-quality images of the fingerprints without the need for ink.
Data Transmission: The captured fingerprint images, along with the individual's personal information, are securely transmitted to the appropriate government agencies, such as the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), for processing.
Background Check: The submitted fingerprints are compared against existing records in national databases to identify any criminal history or other relevant information.
Results: Once the background check is complete, the results are sent to the requesting agency or employer for review.
