Live Scan Fingerprinting Services

Live Scan fingerprinting is a modern, electronic method of capturing fingerprints and securely transmitting them to the appropriate government agencies for background checks. Unlike traditional ink fingerprinting, Live Scan uses digital technology to ensure cleaner, more accurate prints and faster processing times. This method significantly reduces the risk of rejection due to smudging or poor print quality.

Live Scan is commonly required for employment, professional licensing, adoption, immigration-related processes, volunteer positions, and regulatory compliance.

Understanding ORI Numbers (Originating Agency Identifier)

An ORI number (Originating Agency Identifier) is a unique code assigned to the agency requesting your background check. This number tells the Live Scan system:

Which agency is requesting the fingerprints
Where the results should be sent
What type of background check is required

Why ORI Numbers Matter

Your ORI number ensures your fingerprints are routed correctly and processed without delays. Entering an incorrect ORI can result in rejected submissions or misdirected results.

If your employer, licensing board, or agency provides an ORI, you must bring it to your appointment.
If you are unsure of your ORI, we can help review your paperwork and guide you before submission.

ORI Fees & Lookup Information

Please note that ORI numbers often carry associated fees set by the requesting agency or governing authority. These fees are separate from our fingerprinting service fee and are required in order for your background check to be processed.

ORI-related fees vary by agency and background check type
Fees are typically paid to the state or federal agency, not the fingerprinting provider

To verify your ORI number and review any applicable fees, please look up your ORI using the official agency link below before your appointment.
