Q: My fingerprint forms say I need Livescan Fingerprints. What is Livescan?
A: Livescan Fingerprinting is newer technology and type of fingerprint collection method that allows us to capture inkless fingerprints. Fingerprinting Express has the ability to print Livescan fingerprint cards and we can also send the fingerprints electronically to the State of Nevada and the FBI.
Q: What is the difference between Livescan fingerprints and ink fingerprints? What are Electronic Fingerprints?
A: Livescan is the method and technology to submit fingerprints without ink. Electronic submission of fingerprints is the method the fingerprints and personal data are delivered to the State and the FBI when the fingerprints are taken via Livescan Fingerprint Machines. Ink fingerprinting is the old ink method to capture fingerprints on fingerprint cards, the ink method may not be sent to the State and FBI via electronic or email methods… The ink cards have to be mailed in which will take longer for processing. Fingerprinting Express offers all fingerprint methods including ink, inkless, Livescan, manual, and electronic submission methods.
Q: I was just fingerprinted; do I need to be re-fingerprinted?
A: Chances are the answer is YES, you will need to be fingerprinted again. If you are being fingerprinted for a different industry or reason the answer is “YES”. The only circumstance you will not need to be fingerprinted again is if you are in the exact same industry, requiring the same NRS (lawful) reason why you have to be fingerprinted, you have successfully processed a fingerprint background check, in Nevada, within the last six (6) months. If this applies to you, you may fill out a “Department of Public Safety Duplicate Response Form”, and request the State of Nevada share your results with the new company. Please be advised the State may not share these results and may request you to get re-fingerprinted. Example: if you were fingerprinted for Real Estate and need to have fingerprints done for the Contractor’s Board you will need to be re-fingerprinted. If you were fingerprinted to work in a group home and are moving employment to the same exact type of group home, and you were Livescan fingerprinted in the last 6 months, you may qualify to use the Duplicate Response Form.
Q: Can you provide Livescan fingerprinting for the Nevada Department of Education and County School Districts?
A: Yes! We can fingerprint teachers and parent volunteers and we offer teacher and volunteer discounts on our fees- as a thank you for the good work!
Q: Where can I find my ORI and OCA numbers?
A: You need to contact your regional coordinator, hiring manager, or state fingerprint department to obtain those numbers. It will start with an NV if located in Nevada.
Q: What is the difference between Livescan electronic fingerprints and Livescan fingerprint cards?
A: The difference is the way the fingerprints are submitted to the State and FBI. Livescan fingerprints are captured via a digital image that can be transmitted electronically; this provides for a faster and more accurate fingerprint collection process, and you don’t have to worry about your fingerprint cards getting lost in the mail. It is also the same technology to capture the fingerprints inkless. Fingerprinting Express has the ability to print the LiveScan fingerprints on the cards if you do not require them to be electronically transmitted to the State of Nevada and the FBI.
