Mobile Fingerprinting Service: What It Is, Why It Matters, and Who Needs It

In today’s fast-paced world, convenience is no longer a luxury, it’s a necessity. When it comes to fingerprinting services, that’s especially true.

If you’ve ever Googled “mobile fingerprinting near me” because you didn’t want to wait at the police station or drive across town to an IdentoGO location, you’re not alone. Many people don’t realize that mobile fingerprinting is not only available — it might be the most efficient option for their situation.


What is Mobile Fingerprinting?

Mobile fingerprinting is exactly what it sounds like: instead of going to a fingerprinting location, a certified technician comes to you.

This can be done for both:

  • Ink and roll fingerprinting

  • LiveScan fingerprinting (digital)

Whether you need it for employment, licensing, immigration, or an FBI background check, mobile services make the entire process smoother and faster — without compromising accuracy or compliance.


Types of Mobile Fingerprinting Offered

At our business, we offer two core types of mobile fingerprinting:

🖊️ Mobile Ink Fingerprinting

Great for out-of-state licensing, immigration paperwork, or when an agency provides you with specific fingerprint cards (like FD-258, FD-1164, or SF-87).

💻 Mobile LiveScan Fingerprinting

Perfect for faster FBI background checks, ATF eFile, and dual citizenship needs.

Both services can be performed at your office, home, school, medical facility, or wherever is most convenient for you.


Why Mobile Fingerprinting is Becoming the Preferred Choice

1. No Waiting in Long Lines

Let’s be honest — going to the police station or an overbooked Identogo location isn’t ideal. Wait times can be ridiculous, and appointments are often booked out days or weeks in advance.

With mobile fingerprinting, you choose the time and place, and a technician comes prepared to handle everything on-site.


2. Ideal for Groups & Organizations

If you’re an employer, HR director, or nonprofit needing to fingerprint multiple people, mobile fingerprinting is a game changer.

We regularly serve:

  • Schools and universities

  • Medical facilities

  • Religious and nonprofit organizations

  • Corporate onboarding events

  • Volunteer groups

  • Licensing agencies

Bringing everyone to one location is a scheduling nightmare. Instead, let the fingerprinting come to you — and get everyone processed quickly and professionally.


3. Available for Both LiveScan and Ink Fingerprinting

Some services only offer mobile ink fingerprinting. But our mobile technicians are equipped to handle both LiveScan and ink and roll fingerprinting.

This flexibility is important because not all agencies accept digital prints, and not all situations require ink. We help you choose the right method based on your needs — no guessing.


4. Perfect for Those with Limited Mobility or Tight Schedules

Some clients simply can’t travel easily due to age, disability, or time constraints. Others just want to get their fingerprints done with minimal disruption to their day.

We understand that — which is why our mobile service is designed to accommodate your lifestyle, not the other way around.


5. Backed by Over 200 Five-Star Reviews

We don’t just say we’re great — our clients do. With over 200 positive 5-star reviews, our reputation speaks for itself. People trust us because we show up on time, do it right the first time, and make the entire process easy.

  • Employment and licensing

  • ATF eFile fingerprinting

  • Immigration or visa applications

  • Dual citizenship

  • Volunteer background screening

  • Medical and caregiving roles

  • Adoption paperwork
