I need fingerprints taken for a background check
Your options, best first
#1 Instant price check and quote request
What it costs here
Price check: UNKNOWN. no live listing prices yet in this category, so we do not guess; send the generated request below to get real quotes.
#2 Book a professional
Fingerprinting (live scan / ink)
A live scan or ink provider captures prints; the agency that requested them decides which form applies.
Prices are set by each independent professional and shown before you pay.
#3 Do it yourself
Prepare for the appointment
- Get the exact form or code the requesting agency told you to use; the provider cannot choose it for you.
- Bring unexpired photo ID and the request form.
- Moisturize hands the day before; avoid heavy lotion right before.
- Ask if unreadable prints will be retaken at no extra charge.
- Keep the receipt and tracking number.
Safety: Do not share the form code with anyone but the provider.
Stop and call a pro if: the agency rejects your prints twice: ask the agency about alternatives.
