Mobile Fingerprinting: Is It Right for You?
Finding time to visit a fingerprinting office isn’t always easy. Between work, family responsibilities, and busy schedules, many people appreciate the convenience of having fingerprinting services come directly to them.
That’s where mobile fingerprinting comes in.
Whether you’re an employer, healthcare provider, school, or an individual with limited mobility, mobile fingerprinting offers a fast, secure, and convenient solution.
What Is Mobile Fingerprinting?
Mobile fingerprinting is a service where a certified fingerprint technician travels to your location to collect fingerprints. Instead of visiting an office, you choose the place that’s most convenient—your workplace, home, school, healthcare facility, or another approved location.
Depending on your needs, fingerprints can be captured electronically or on FD-258 fingerprint cards when required by the requesting agency.
Who Can Benefit from Mobile Fingerprinting?
Mobile fingerprinting is ideal for many situations, including:
Businesses and Employers
Hiring multiple employees? Instead of sending everyone to a fingerprinting office, a mobile technician can fingerprint your staff on-site, saving time and reducing disruptions to your business.
Mobile fingerprinting is especially helpful for:
- Healthcare facilities
- Schools and childcare centers
- Security companies
- Construction firms
- Government contractors
- Corporate offices
- Nonprofit organizations
Healthcare Professionals
Nurses, physicians, therapists, pharmacists, and other healthcare workers often need fingerprinting for licensing or employment. Mobile appointments make it easier to complete this requirement without interrupting a busy workday.
Schools and Childcare Providers
Teachers, substitute teachers, coaches, volunteers, and childcare employees may all require fingerprint-based background checks. Mobile fingerprinting allows entire groups to be processed efficiently at one location.
Individuals with Limited Mobility
If traveling to an office is difficult because of age, injury, disability, or transportation challenges, mobile fingerprinting provides a more accessible option.
Busy Professionals
Professionals with demanding schedules can save valuable time by scheduling fingerprinting at their office or another convenient location.
Benefits of Mobile Fingerprinting
Convenience
There’s no need to drive across town or wait in line. We come to you at a time and location that fits your schedule.
Time Savings
On-site fingerprinting eliminates travel time and allows groups to complete the process quickly and efficiently.
Flexible Scheduling
Many mobile fingerprinting providers offer appointments outside of traditional business hours, making scheduling easier for employers and individuals.
Group Appointments
If several people require fingerprinting, scheduling one mobile visit is often more efficient than arranging individual appointments.
Professional Service
Mobile appointments provide the same professional service and attention to detail you would receive in our office, while offering the added convenience of on-site service.
Is Mobile Fingerprinting Accepted?
Yes. As long as fingerprints are collected according to the requesting agency’s requirements, mobile fingerprinting is accepted for many employment, licensing, and background check purposes.
Always verify your agency’s fingerprint submission requirements before scheduling your appointment.
What Should You Have Ready?
To ensure a smooth appointment, have the following available:
- A valid government-issued photo ID
- Any agency forms or instructions
- Your ORI number, if applicable
- A clean, well-lit workspace for the technician
If fingerprint cards are required, we’ll ensure they are completed accurately and ready for submission.
When Should You Choose Mobile Fingerprinting?
Mobile fingerprinting is an excellent option if:
- You have a busy schedule.
- You’re fingerprinting multiple employees.
- You prefer the convenience of an on-site appointment.
- You have limited mobility or transportation.
- Your organization wants to streamline the onboarding process.
