IdentoGO serves as a middle man in verifying your identity through electronic fingerprinting. The federal government utilizes IdentoGO’s services for security for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), Universal Enrollment Services (UES), and other groups, including HazPrint and TWIC.
Here at Atlanta Fingerprinting, we can assist with ink fingerprint cards for IdentoGO use for background checks and pre-verification. When deciding what option is best for you, reach out to your employer or Channeler and ask which is best for you. For any additional questions on if ink fingerprinting is right for you, feel free to call our offices during business hours.
]]>Criminal background checks are most often utilized as due diligence in the employer’s process. This ensures a safe workplace for all parties and protects the employer from negligent hiring claims. A majority of claims and requests for a criminal background check are part of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s employee application process.
The background check process includes gathering a complete history through an application. Not only does the application have your name and address, but it includes the last four digits of your social security and a set of fingerprints. Ink fingerprinting is commonly required, and we offer it here, at Atlanta Fingerprinting.
In order to begin, we will need your ID, our order form filled out, and the cards needed for your employer. If you do not have finger print cards, we can provide them upon request. For all appointments, we are located in the heart of Atlanta, between Buckhead and Midtown, and our staff is available to call every day in between the hours of 8 AM and 5 PM EST. You can reach us at (404) 405-1750 or online at david@atlantafingerprinting.com. We offer fingerprinting on weekdays and weekends by appointment, with the goal of processing your finger prints in 15 minutes.
]]>Unfortunately, these heavy amounts of requests for background checks can lead to delays from the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) as well as delays on processing license requests at the state level. If there are any problems with these requests, such as illegible fingerprints or partially incomplete cards, the application could be rejected and the new owner will not only have to wait longer but also potentially pay licensing and fingerprinting fees again. This is why it’s important to review both the NICS website and your state’s firearm license laws to ensure the process can go as smoothly as possible.
In Georgia, for example, firearms licenses are provided by probate courts to individuals over the age of 21. Part of this application includes submitting fingerprints for a criminal history records check and a background check, which will be requested after five days from submission. The background check takes thirty days, and then law enforcement determines whether you can receive a license. These licenses are valid for five years, after which they will need to be renewed.
To prevent rejection, the FBI recommends using FD-258 fingerprint cards and also recommends submitting multiple sets of fingerprints, preferably by a fingerprint technician. The FBI will accept FD-258 fingerprint cards on standard white paper stock, but in order to ensure legible prints Atlanta Fingerprinting provides FD-258 cards on standard card stock. Some probate courts, such as Gwinnett County, also require fingerprinting to be performed at the probate court, so check your county website to see what the conditions are for fingerprinting in your area.
Atlanta Fingerprinting doesn’t offer electronic fingerprinting at this time, but if you want to have ink fingerprints taken in just fifteen minutes, please don’t hesitate to call us at (404) 465-1705 to make an appointment.

]]>A background check is the process of collecting and compiling any criminal records for the purposes of obtaining a certification, license, or for your own use.
Often, verification can be needed for a variety of records, such as:
Ink fingerprinting can be necessary to acquiring the background check and is offered by Atlanta Fingerprinting.

]]>Pros:
Gemalto Cogent’s LiveScan software can quickly collect your fingerprint data for criminal history background checks. Users are guided through the process with on-screen prompts and the results can be digitally e-mailed. You also cannot lose or destroy an electronic copy as easily as a hard copy of fingerprints.
Cons:
Electronic software, though modern, can cost much more than ink finger printing depending on the provider. The difference in pricing depends on whether the organization is federal or a private practice. Also, note that optical scanners cannot always distinguish between a picture of a finger and the finger itself, which can lead to fraudulent activity. There are certain states that will not accept digital fingerprints sent across state lines.
To determine whether electronic or ink fingerprinting is best for you, contact your future employer or the organization that is requesting the criminal background check. Many organizations will request at least two copies of ink fingerprinting services be sent in, while other employers may ask specifically for Gemalto or LiveScan options. If they do not specify which to use, then consider that most ink fingerprinting options are more cost effective than Gemalto digital options.
