Live Scan Fingerprinting Services from DK Security
Fingerprinting is the process of capturing your unique prints and submitting them to the FBI’s Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS). The system checks your prints against a national criminal history database.
While some providers still use ink-and-roll cards, DK Security uses Live Scan fingerprinting, which delivers cleaner results, faster turnaround, and easier processing through the state and FBI systems.
DK Security provides fingerprinting services in accordance with Michigan’s employment regulations. In addition to the FBI, fingerprints collected at our branch offices are received and reviewed by the State of Michigan.
We offer same-day fingerprinting appointments at each of our three Michigan offices:
Appointments may be scheduled online, and each scan costs $65 (cash or card).
If you require fingerprinting for a larger roster of staff, our team is available to travel to your place of work for group collection.
What to Expect from Your Fingerprinting Appointment
Appointments are required, and walk-ins are not accepted. Each Live Scan fingerprinting appointment typically takes 15 to 20 minutes and uses a digital scan with no ink required. Please bring a completed Live Scan Fingerprint Background Check Request form from your employer, along with valid identification such as a driver’s license or other government-issued photo ID. A $65 payment is required and may be made by cash or card.
