What Is Live Scan Fingerprinting?
Live Scan fingerprinting is a digital method of capturing fingerprints without the use of ink. Instead of pressing your fingers onto paper cards, a trained technician uses an electronic scanner to capture high-quality images of your fingerprints.
These images are then:
- Digitally transmitted to government agencies (such as the FBI or state departments)
- Used for background checks, licensing, and employment verification
- Stored securely for fast and accurate processing
Why Live Scan Is Better Than Traditional Fingerprinting
Live Scan has largely replaced traditional ink fingerprinting—and for good reason:
1. Faster Processing
Digital submission means your fingerprints are sent instantly, reducing wait times significantly.
2. Higher Accuracy
Advanced scanners minimize smudges or errors, lowering the chance of rejection.
3. Cleaner & More Convenient
No ink, no mess, and a more comfortable experience overall.
4. Secure Transmission
Your data is encrypted and sent directly to authorized agencies.
Who Needs Live Scan Fingerprinting?
Live Scan is commonly required for:
- Employment background checks (especially in healthcare, education, and finance)
- Professional licensing (real estate agents, nurses, security guards, etc.)
- Volunteer positions involving vulnerable populations
- Immigration or legal documentation
- Government clearances
If you’re unsure whether you need Live Scan, chances are—if a background check is involved—you probably do.
