Who We Are

Fingerprints & Apostilles was created with a simple mission:

to provide the fastest, most reliable fingerprinting and apostille services in the nation.

We saw that most fingerprinting locations were:

  • Undertrained

  • Understaffed

  • Slow

  • Unreliable

  • Dependent on mail-in processing

  • Lacking expertise in apostilles or embassy legalizations

So we built something better: A professional, full-service fingerprinting and document authentication company that prioritizes accuracy, speed, communication, and customer experience.

Today, we proudly serve:

  • Individuals

  • Travelers

  • International students

  • Remote workers

  • Government contractors

  • Non-profits

  • Law firms

  • Adoption agencies

  • Healthcare workers

  • Large corporations

We handle everything from fingerprinting to FBI background checks to apostilles and embassy legalizations. All under one roof!

Our Mission

To make fingerprinting, background checks, apostilles, and embassy legalizations fast, accurate, and stress-free, no matter where you are located.

We believe customers deserve:

  • Transparency

  • Fair pricing

  • Clear communication

  • Fast processing

  • Professional guidance

  • Exceptional service

  • Friendly Service

  • Unmatched Customer Experiences

These values guide every service we deliver.

Why We're Different

Why We’re Different

We are not a clerk behind a counter or a machine at a shipping store.
We are highly trained fingerprint technicians and document authentication specialists.

Here’s what sets us apart:

1. Fastest FBI Background Checks in the Country

Most customers receive their FBI results within 1 hour.
This is significantly faster than typical LiveScan centers, mail-in options, or general notary shops.

2. Fastest FBI Apostille Turnaround (10 Business Days)

Because we are minutes from Washington DC, we hand-deliver your documents to the Department of State.


This eliminates the 5-8 week mail-in delays.

3. Professional Fingerprint Technicians (Extremely Low Rejection Rate)

Many locations ask customers to roll their own prints, resulting in high rejection rates.
We do the opposite.

  • We capture clean, accurate prints

  • We use advanced equipment

  • If prints are rejected due to quality, we reprint for free

Our expertise is why we have 300+ five-star reviews and counting.

4. Embassy Legalization Expertise (Cuba, Qatar & More)

Most providers do not touch embassy work.
We do and we do it in person.

Our relationship with Embassy employees allows us to:

  • Walk documents in

  • Communicate directly with staff

  • Resolve issues quickly

  • Provide the fastest possible turnaround

5. Fingerprint Archiving (1, 2 & 5-Year Options)

We offer secure, long-term fingerprint archiving to save customers time.

Once archived, customers can:

  • Print new cards

  • Request updated background checks

  • Submit .EFT files

  • Skip fingerprinting entirely for years

This is one of our most valuable services for:

  • Travelers

  • Businesses

  • Nurses

  • Contractors

  • Recurring compliance needs

6. Mobile Fingerprinting for Individuals & Large Groups

We travel to:

  • Offices

  • Schools

  • Clinics

  • Construction sites

  • Corporate meetings

  • Government facilities

  • Homes (when needed)

We have fingerprinted over 80 people in a single day, making us one of the most capable mobile teams in Northern Virginia.
