FAQ for Fingerprinting

What is Live Scan fingerprinting, and how does it differ from ink fingerprinting?

Live Scan is a digital way to capture fingerprints electronically, without ink or a card. It’s quicker and more precise than the old-fashioned ink method. At IVO, we specialize in this advanced technology, ensuring a smooth and accurate process for our customers.  We also perform ink via Standard Fingerprint Card (e.g., FD-249 and FD-258).

Why choose IVO for fingerprinting services?

IVO stands out with our supreme level of personalized customer service. We’re available 24/7 via voice and text at (224) 698 1609 or email at Dee@identifyverify.org to answer any queries and assist you through the process. We prioritize your convenience and efficiency, making your experience as comfortable as possible.

What should I expect during the fingerprinting process at IVO?

Expect a straightforward procedure at IVO. You’ll need a valid ID, and the whole process is fast. We explain everything clearly, especially for first-timers or those with privacy concerns.

Who needs to get fingerprinted, and why?

Fingerprinting is often required for specific professions or organizations for regulatory or employment purposes. It’s a standard part of background checks in many industries.

Why can't your company do HAZMAT?

A: Fingerprinting for Hazmat Endorsements is a special process that includes checking if someone is a security risk. This is part of the TSA Hazardous Materials Endorsement Threat Assessment Program and is controlled by federal laws. It’s something our company doesn’t handle.

How does IVO ensure privacy and compliance in fingerprinting?

At IVO, we understand the importance of privacy and legal compliance. We adhere to all regulations, including GDPR for digital data, to ensure your information is handled securely and responsibly.

What is the difference between browser and biometric fingerprinting?

Browser fingerprinting is a digital tracking method, while biometric fingerprinting, like what we offer at IVO, is physically capturing fingerprints for identification purposes.

Can I get support outside regular business hours?

Absolutely! IVO offers round-the-clock support. Whether it’s a late-night query or an early morning concern, we’re here for you at (224) 698 1609 or DeeDee@identifyverify.org.
