Fingerprinting
For professional licenses, employment, background checks, and more, LiveScan electronic fingerprinting for people and businesses is offered. If necessary, we can offer the fingerprint cards. Additionally, prints may be sent electronically to federal and state law enforcement organizations like the FBI and FINRA.
Fingerprinting is offered at RAPID SCREEN 123 in a simple, quick, and accurate manner. Our skilled agents will make sure your documentation is in place, quickly take your fingerprints, handle the request, and send you on your way whether you need to be fingerprinted for a government entity for employment purposes.

What is fingerprinting using a live scan?
Livescan fingerprinting is the process of using our sophisticated LiveScan scanner to digitally capture fingerprints. LiveScan fingerprinting does not require ink or a card. On a glass plate, your fingerprints are “rolled” and scanned. Compared to the outdated ink-and-roll technique, it is quicker, cleaner, and more accurate.
A portion of people have hard-to-read fingerprints, which can be caused by old age, specific occupations like construction, or continuous exposure to different chemicals. Our cutting-edge tools and highly skilled personnel are able to maximize the quality of fingerprint images obtained, lowering the possibility of unreadable prints and speeding up application processing. The particular state agency is subsequently given the fingerprints to process.
What distinguishes a background check using fingerprints from one using a different method?
Background checks using fingerprints generate a thorough criminal profile of the applicant by doing fingerprint searches against the FBI and state criminal databases. However, non-fingerprint background checks, sometimes known as “name checks,” are much less thorough and only compare an applicant’s background to a small selection of specified commercially available information. Systems for automatically identifying fingerprints today can achieve identification error rates of less than 1%. On the other hand, name checks produce a significant amount of false positives as well as false negatives.
Are name checks for criminal histories as trustworthy as fingerprints?
Name checks are typically far less trustworthy than fingerprint checks. An individual’s name and other personal information including sex, race, date of birth, and Social Security number are used in name checks. Name checks can generate false results since it is uncommon for this information to be specific to a single person. This is especially true when there are names and other identifiers in the database that are close to or identical to the information being checked. Additionally, mistakes can be made by search subjects who want to keep their past criminal activity hidden from prying eyes by providing misspelled, clerical, or purposefully false identity information.
Name-checking problems typically fall into one of two categories:
False positives, which are inaccurate or incorrect identifications, happen when a candidate’s name check locates an FBI criminal record because several people share the same name, but their fingerprint search reveals they do not.
Missed identifications, also known as “false negatives,” happen when a name check for an applicant is clean but a fingerprint search reveals they have a criminal record according to the FBI.
