Scheduling Your Appointment

The first step in the mobile fingerprinting process is scheduling your appointment. Our mobile fingerprinting services offer online booking, making it easy to choose a date and time that works for you. Be sure to provide accurate information and double-check the details to avoid any scheduling conflicts.

Once your appointment is confirmed, you'll receive a confirmation email with all the necessary details, including the location, time, and any documents you need to bring. It's a good idea to save this email for reference and set a reminder on your calendar.

Preparing for Your Appointment

Preparation is key to a smooth mobile fingerprinting experience. Here are some tips to help you get ready:

  • Gather all required documents, such as a valid ID and any forms provided by your employer or licensing agency.
  • Ensure your hands are clean and let the fingerprinting technician  know of any cuts or abrasions, as these can affect the quality of your fingerprints.
  • Dress comfortably, as the appointment may take anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes.

During the Appointment

When the mobile fingerprinting technician arrives, they will set up their equipment and verify your identity using the documents you provided. The actual fingerprinting process involves scanning each of your fingers using a specialized device. The technician will guide you through each step, ensuring your fingerprints are captured accurately.

It's important to remain calm and follow the technician's instructions carefully. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to ask. The technician's goal is to make the process as smooth and efficient as possible.

After the Appointment

Once your fingerprints have been captured, the technician will review the scans to ensure they meet the required standards. If any issues arise, they may need to rescan your fingerprints. Otherwise, you'll be all set, and the technician will submit your fingerprints to the appropriate agency or organization.
