Our Core Fingerprinting Services in Houston
1. Live Scan Fingerprinting (Electronic Fingerprinting)
We offer live scan fingerprinting using FBI-approved electronic scanners. This method is fast, accurate, and secure. People use Live Scan for:
- Job background checks
- State licenses (like nursing, real estate, or teaching)
- FINRA, FDLE, and other agency submissions
- Adoption and childcare
- Immigration forms (like Form I-765 or I-485)
Our system keeps your fingerprints safe and sends them directly to the right government agency.
2. Fingerprint Cards (FD-258 and Other Formats)
We offer traditional ink fingerprinting and FD-258 fingerprint cards for mailing or out-of-state needs.
We handle:
- FD-258 cards (FBI standard)
- SF-87 cards (for government jobs and contractors)
- State-specific fingerprint cards (ask us if needed)
- Custom fingerprint forms for international or private use
You can bring your cards, or we’ll provide them when you visit.
3. ETF Fingerprinting (Electronic Fingerprints for Firearms)
We offer ETF fingerprinting for firearm applications, as required by the ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives).
Use ETF fingerprinting for:
- NFA (National Firearms Act) purchases
- Suppressor (silencer) applications
- Short-barreled rifle (SBR) builds
- Form 1 and Form 4 submissions
What is ETF Fingerprinting?
ETF fingerprinting means we take your fingerprints digitally and send them straight to the ATF. This process is faster than mailing fingerprint cards and helps speed up your firearm application. We use FBI-certified equipment and handle everything for you.
4. ATF Fingerprinting (Ink or Digital for Firearm Applications)
If you’re applying for an NFA item like a silencer, short-barreled rifle, or automatic weapon, the ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives) requires you to get fingerprinted.
What is ATF Fingerprinting?
You can do ATF fingerprinting in two ways:
- Ink fingerprints on FD-258 cards (two copies needed)
- Electronic fingerprinting (ETF)Â for faster processing
We help with both options. Whether you’re working with an FFL dealer, filing a Form 1 online, or doing a Form 4 transfer, our trained staff will make sure your fingerprints meet ATF rules and speed up your approval.
