Out-of-State Fingerprinting Services: Fingerprint Cards for Any State Nationwide

Professional Fingerprinting for Any State That Requires Fingerprint Cards Instead of LiveScan

If you need a state background check but are currently outside the state requesting it, you cannot use LiveScan in most cases.

Only Florida (FDLE) allows out-of-state LiveScan submissions.

For every other state, you must submit ink fingerprint cards.

At Fingerprints & Apostilles LLC, we specialize in out-of-state fingerprint card services for individuals, employers, and remote workers across the country.

We use advanced LiveScan capture technology and print your fingerprints directly onto the correct card giving you the highest quality, FBI-recommended fingerprints with extremely low rejection rates.

Why You Need Out-of-State Fingerprinting

LiveScan only works if you're physically in the state requesting your background check.

For example:

  • Need a California state background check but you're in Virginia? → You must use fingerprint cards.

  • Need an Ohio BCI background check while you’re out of state? → Must use fingerprint cards.

  • Need a Maryland CJIS background check but you're not in Maryland? → Must use fingerprint cards.

  • Need any state licensing or employment fingerprinting while living in another state? → Must use fingerprint cards.

We handle all of these situations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can you fingerprint me for another state while I’m in Virginia?

Yes. For most states, you must use fingerprint cards and we can roll or print on any required card.

Q: Do I need to bring my own fingerprint cards?

Not required. We keep FD-258 cards in stock. Bring specialty cards if your agency provided them.

Q: Can you print my digital fingerprints onto multiple cards?

Yes. We can print as many cards as needed from one capture session.

Q: Can you mail the fingerprint cards for me?

We no longer offer this service because sometimes there are last minute changes that would come up for you that can ruin your process if we have already mailed the cards. So for this reason we do not offer mailing services unless it is coming direct to you from an Archiving service

Q: Do you store fingerprints for future out-of-state submissions?

Yes. Choose 1-year, 2-year, or 5-year archiving.

Q: Can you do mobile fingerprinting for businesses?
