What Is No Ink Fingerprinting?
No ink fingerprinting refers to digital Live Scan fingerprinting. Instead of rolling fingers in ink and pressing them onto fingerprint cards, a trained technician captures your prints using a certified electronic scanner.
The system:
- Scans fingerprints digitally
- Performs real-time quality checks
- Encrypts the data securely
- Submits directly to the DOJ and/or FBI
This eliminates smudging, mailing delays, and most rejection issues common with traditional ink cards.
How Live Scan Fingerprinting Works
- We verify your identification and Live Scan request form.
- You place your fingers on a glass scanning surface.
- The system captures and evaluates each fingerprint in real time.
- Prints are encrypted and transmitted electronically to the appropriate agency.
Because image clarity is verified before submission, rejection rates are significantly lower than ink card fingerprinting.
