Yes! If you cannot make it to our Clayton office, or if you need to get an entire corporate team, legal staff, or executive board fingerprinted at once, we bring our equipment straight to you. We offer premium mobile fingerprinting services throughout the general St. Louis City and St. Louis County areas. Contact us directly to discuss your group size, location, and customized scheduling. 

We provide both! Fingerprinting St Louis is fully equipped to handle traditional ink fingerprinting (using high-contrast black ink on physical cards) as well as state-of-the-art Live Scan fingerprinting (capturing your biometrics electronically on a digital scanner). No matter what your requesting agency mandates, we have the precise technology required to fulfill your background check.

The rule of thumb usually comes down to which state is requesting your background check.

• If you are registering for a license or job inside the state of Missouri, a digital Live Scan is typically used.
• If you live in St. Louis but are applying for a license, job, or court request outside of Missouri, or for a federal agency, you will almost always need traditional ink fingerprint cards (like the FBI FD-258 card) because digital networks rarely talk to each other across state lines. If you are still confused, just call or text us—our experts will tell you exactly what you need in seconds!

Absolutely. This is one of our core specialties. Because individual state Live Scan networks do not communicate with one another, an out-of-state agency cannot accept a Missouri electronic transmission. Instead, we use our specialized systems to perfectly capture your digital prints and roll them directly onto the exact physical fingerprint cards required by the California DOJ, Florida FDLE, Illinois State Police, or any of the other 50 states. We ensure your out-of-state application is flawless.

Yes! Traveling nurses are some of our most frequent clients. We seamlessly process fingerprint cards for all 50 states, including the critical non-compact nursing states like California, Illinois, New York, Michigan, Minnesota, Hawaii, Alaska, Oregon, Nevada, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Washington D.C. If you are building an assignment portfolio across multiple states, we can efficiently print all your required cards in a single appointment.

To save you time and money, Fingerprinting St Louis offers a premier digital fingerprint retention program. With your permission, we can securely and legally store your digital biometric file in our encrypted system. If you pick up a new nursing assignment in a non-compact state months down the road, you won't have to drive back to an office to get rolled again. Simply contact us, and we can instantly print your retained biometrics onto a new physical card and have it ready for you immediately.

Employers, state licensing boards, and federal agencies utilize fingerprint-based background checks to guarantee absolute identity verification. Unlike a simple name-and-date-of-birth search—which can easily result in false positives or missed records due to common names or intentional aliases—a fingerprint scan links directly to your unique biometric profile. This minimizes corporate liability, protects vulnerable populations (like children and the elderly), and ensures workplace security.

A standard criminal background check searches national databases, state repositories, and local county court records. The finalized report reveals an individual's public record history, including nationwide arrest records, active warrants, misdemeanor or felony charges, convictions, court dispositions, and sentencing details.

While many standard, non-fingerprint employment background checks look back exactly 7 years due to state and federal consumer reporting laws, biometric (fingerprint) background checks are completely different. When your fingerprints are submitted directly to state repositories or the FBI, the background report can pull your entire aggregate lifetime history, regardless of how many years have passed.

To ensure compliance with state and federal biometric laws, please bring a valid, unexpired, government-issued photo ID (such as a U.S. Driver's License, State ID card, or Passport). If you are applying for an out-of-state license, bring your Social Security Number (SSN) and any specific paperwork or cards sent to you by your requesting agency. If you don't have a specific card, don't worry—we keep standard FBI FD-258 cards fully stocked.

We are committed to providing prompt, on-time sessions for all of our clients.
