Live Scan Fingerprinting: Who Needs It and Why

What Is Live Scan Fingerprinting?

Live Scan fingerprinting is an electronic method of capturing fingerprints — no ink, no cards. Fingerprints are scanned digitally and submitted directly to the FBI and state agencies for background checks. It's fast, accurate, and required for many processes in Tyler TX and East Texas.

Who Needs Live Scan Fingerprinting?

Employers — Pre-employment background checks for healthcare, childcare, education, and security positions

Licensing applicants — Real estate, nursing, contractors, and other licensed professions

Immigration applicants — USCIS fingerprinting for immigration proceedings

Adoption applicants — Background checks required for adoption
