Common Questions

What is fingerprint card storage?

Fingerprint card storage is the secure, long-term retention of fingerprint records for future reference, compliance audits, re-submission to agencies, and verification purposes. It ensures your organization maintains accurate, retrievable fingerprint records as required by federal, state, and industry-specific regulatory bodies. Stored records can be re-submitted to the DOJ, FBI, or other agencies without requiring the individual to be re-fingerprinted.

Who needs fingerprint card storage?

Organizations in healthcare, education, financial services, government, and staffing that must maintain fingerprint records for compliance or regulatory audits benefit from card storage services. It is especially valuable for organizations with high employee turnover, multiple locations, or ongoing compliance requirements that necessitate maintaining current background check records for all personnel.

How are fingerprint cards stored?

Fingerprint cards are stored securely in our CJIS-compliant storage system, meeting all applicable federal and state data protection regulations. Access is strictly controlled with role-based permissions and full audit trails. Our storage infrastructure uses encryption at rest and in transit, with redundant backups to ensure data integrity and availability.

Can stored fingerprints be re-submitted to agencies?

Yes. One of the primary benefits of fingerprint card storage is the ability to re-submit stored fingerprints to the DOJ, FBI, FDLE, or other agencies without requiring the individual to be physically present for re-fingerprinting. This saves significant time and cost for organizations that need to renew or update background checks for their personnel.

How long are fingerprint records stored?

Retention periods depend on your organization's compliance requirements and the storage plan you select. We offer flexible retention options ranging from 1 year to indefinite storage. Our team will work with you to determine the appropriate retention period based on your industry's regulatory requirements.
