Live Scan

Electronic live scan fingerprint transactions are the preferred and most cost effective method of submission to FINRA. Fingerprints are received by FINRA from New Jersey Fingerprinting within 24 hours. This method reduces the fingerprint rejection rate associated with ink card submissions and data entry errors with manual card processing. Electronic submission is more efficient and less costly than ink card submission to FINRA.

We offer this service at both our New York and New Jersey locations as well as a Mobile Service at your home or office on an appointment basis.

Ink and Roll Card Fingerprinting

We can process ink card submissions for FINRA applicants. This includes our expert fingerprint Technicians rolling fingerprints on FD-258 cards.

Make an appointment with us for Fingerprinting on the FBI FD-258 card. Two sets of ink cards are recommended, but not required.

Individuals may NOT fingerprint themselves; fingerprints MUST have fingerprints taken and placed on the FBI (FD-258) card or printed form, using ink and roll.

Please fill out the mandatory fields on the FD-258 card/form:

A key to the correct code to use for sex, eye color and hair color can be found here. The “Reason Fingerprinted” on the card should specify FINRA. Do not sign the card before fingerprinting. Both you and the fingerprinting agent will sign the card at the time of the fingerprinting.

Include rolled impressions of all 10 fingerprints and impressions of all 10 fingerprints taken simultaneously (these are sometimes referred to as plain or flat impressions). We ask that you do not bend or fold the ink cards or fingerprint forms when mailing to FINRA.
