What is Live Scan Fingerprinting?
Live scan fingerprinting is the process of capturing fingerprints electronically with our advanced live scan machine. With live scan fingerprinting, there is no ink or card. Your fingerprints are “rolled” across a glass plate and scanned. It is faster, cleaner, and more accurate than the old ink-and-roll method.
A percentage of the population has hard-to-read fingerprints, which can be affected by age or exposure to work, such as construction or harsh cleaning, or other chemicals. Our state-of-the-art equipment and highly trained staff, are able to maximize the quality of fingerprint images obtained, which reduces the likelihood of illegible fingerprints and will reduce the overall application processing time. The fingerprints are then submitted to the specific state or federal agency to process.
We are currently processing fingerprints for the agencies below:
- New York Department of Health
- New York Department of State
- New York Liquor Authority / Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control
- New York Office of Children and Family Services
- New York Department of Financial Services
- New York Record Review
- New York Department of Motor Vehicles

TSA Precheck
TSA PreCheck is an expedited security screening program connecting travelers departing from the United States with smarter security and a better air travel experience. Passengers can apply for the PreCheck Application Program to determine if they are low-risk and eligible to receive expedited screening.
TWIC
The Transportation Worker Identification Credential, also known as TWIC, is required by the Maritime Transportation Security Act for workers who need access to secure areas of the nation’s maritime facilities/vessels, and others who require a TWIC. TSA conducts a security threat assessment (background check) to determine a person’s eligibility and issues the credential. U.S. citizens and non-U.S. citizens in certain immigrant/non-immigrant categories may apply for the credential. Most mariners licensed by the U.S. Coast Guard also require a credential. Regarding card usage and facility access requirements, please contact the U.S. Coast Guard.
HAZMAT Endorsement
The Hazardous Materials Endorsement Threat Assessment Program conducts a threat assessment for any driver seeking to obtain, renew and transfer a hazardous materials endorsement on a state-issued commercial driver’s license. You should apply if you have a state-issued CDL and you are required to transport materials that require placarding under the Department of Transportation hazardous materials regulations.
