Choose the Fingerprinting Method Your Instructions Require

Every person’s fingerprint patterns are unique, but the method used to capture them must match the instructions for the request. We offer both ink and electronic options for individuals and employers.

Traditional Ink Fingerprinting
This method involves rolling each fingertip in ink and transferring the print onto a fingerprint card. It may be required when an organization needs a completed physical card. Before visiting, confirm the required card and submission instructions with the organization that issued your request.

Live Scan (Electronic Fingerprinting)
This method uses electronic scanning technology to capture fingerprints without ink. It enables direct submission of the captured fingerprints when the receiving agency requires it. Check the agency’s instructions because the required method and submission destination depend on the purpose of the request.

Common Reasons for Fingerprinting

Individuals may need fingerprinting for an application, screening process, or identity check. Employers and organizations may also arrange collection for applicants or personnel.

Common fingerprinting purposes include:

Employment background checks
License and permit applications
Immigration and visa applications
Security clearance for government agencies
Volunteer screening requirements

Before using our fingerprinting services in West Chester, review the instructions you received, including the accepted method and submission destination. If the format is unclear, contact the organization for confirmation, then call us to arrange the appropriate collection method.
