Common Questions
How long does it take to get fingerprint results?
California DOJ results typically take 3–7 business days. FBI results through our channeling service are available in under 24 hours. Standard FBI mail-in processing can take 12–14 weeks.
What if my fingerprints were rejected?
If you were fingerprinted at Federal Fingerprinting and your prints were rejected, we offer free re-fingerprinting. However, please note that fingerprint quality depends on individual skin conditions, which are beyond our control, so acceptance cannot be guaranteed. Contact us at (888) 417-0203 to schedule.
Where is my ATI number?
Your ATI number is printed on the receipt you received at the time of your Live Scan fingerprinting. It is a unique identifier used to track your submission.
