What To Expect

Getting your fingerprints taken by Fieldprint is easy and painless. 

Step 1.
You schedule an appointment at one of our fingerprinting sites close to you. We provide you with driving directions and a map, if necessary.

Step 2.
You go to the site to have your fingerprints taken. You need one form of government issued photo identification. A valid and active driver’s license is the most common form of identification, but passports and other types of valid government photo identification can also be used. 

In most cases, depending upon where you live, your fingerprints are taken by a Livescan device, which is a type of scanner that will record your fingerprint without the use of ink.  In some situations your fingerprints are recorded using the ink-and-card process.  Don’t worry: the ink comes off easily. 

Your part is now done. 

Step 3.
Fieldprint submits your fingerprints to the state and/or FBI. 

Step 4.
The results of the state and/or FBI search are sent back to your employer or licensing agency.
