Mobile fingerprinting brings fingerprint capture to a home, workplace, or suitable event venue. Federal Fingerprinting accepts individual and group requests, including California Live Scan and ink card needs where the required service is available. Coverage, equipment, staffing, scheduling, and a custom quote are confirmed before booking. The requesting agency controls the submission route and background-check decisions.
Mobile fingerprinting means a technician travels to an agreed location to capture fingerprints rather than requiring everyone to visit an office. Depending on the booked service and jurisdiction, capture may use an electronic scanner or an agency-specified fingerprint card. Confirm the required method and local availability before booking.
Send your city or ZIP code, preferred date, fingerprinting type, and participant count through the mobile request form, or call (818) 514-2255. We check technician coverage, agency requirements, travel, and scheduling before confirming service. A mobile service area is not a walk-in office.
You can request mobile California Live Scan when your requesting agency requires that submission route and suitable service is available at your location. Obtain the agency's Request for Live Scan Service form first. Electronic capture is not a guarantee of clearance or a result date, and California Live Scan is not automatically valid for another state's request.
Group fingerprinting can be requested for employers, healthcare teams, schools, productions, and other organizations. Provide the venue, participant count, required services, forms, and preferred date. We review space, site access, staffing, equipment, and a custom quote; each participant follows their own agency's instructions.
Request a current quote based on the location, travel, service type, headcount, and appointment time. Government or program fees may be additional and vary by the requesting agency. Do not assume a fixed per-person price, group discount, or travel-fee waiver applies until the quote is confirmed.
Individuals as well as groups can request a mobile appointment. Confirm the service, address, timing, and quoted cost before relying on availability. Having more participants can change the equipment, staffing, and time needed.
Ask about mobile ink card capture if your requesting agency accepts FD-258 cards or another specified format. Confirm the card type, number of cards, required identifiers, and submission instructions. Personal FBI checks and employment or licensing checks may follow different routes.
No. A private mobile fingerprinting appointment does not replace a USCIS Application Support Center appointment or a USCIS-arranged homebound biometrics visit. If you separately need fingerprint cards or an FBI Identity History Summary for an immigration-related request, contact us with the exact instructions to discuss appropriate assistance.
Have each participant's valid, unexpired photo ID and agency-supplied form or card instructions ready. Arrange an accessible, suitable workspace and clarify site access, participant arrival times, and any privacy needs. Ask us about preparation for your particular capture method.
You can ask about urgent, evening, or weekend scheduling, but it depends on technician availability, location, and service requirements. Do not rely on around-the-clock service or a specific appointment time until it is confirmed.
Capture time and agency processing time are different. The receiving agency determines processing, results, and delivery. For California Live Scan, keep the receipt and ATI number and follow the requesting agency's status instructions. We do not guarantee acceptance, clearance, or a result date.
Contact us with the rejection notice and the requesting agency's instructions so we can discuss the appropriate next step and any applicable fees or policy. Receiving-agency acceptance cannot be guaranteed. Do not send fingerprint images, Social Security numbers, or full background reports by ordinary email.
