Ink Fingerprinting St Louis

With every ink fingerprinting appointment, we automatically provide you with two FD-258 hard cards. These are the standard cards required for many applications, and we ensure you have them ready to go. 

We also recognize that some situations may require more than two cards. Should you find yourself in need of additional FD-258 hard cards, rest assured they are readily available for a nominal fee. Our goal is to make this process as seamless as possible, ensuring you have ample supplies to complete your submissions accurately and without delay.

Depending on your type of appointment you may need the following:

• Have your current State Drivers License, State issued ID or US Passport (no copies accepted)
• Social Security Number (just know it if it's required for your submission - we don't need your card)
• CRD Number
• Personal Information (Name, address, phone, email)
• Employer Information (Name, address, phone, email)
• Reason for Fingerprinting
• Any documents you've been provided for fingerprinting

Yes. We specialize in traditional ink fingerprinting using high-quality, smudge-proof forensic ink. We stock standard federal FD-258 fingerprint cards, which are universally accepted by the FBI, federal agencies, state licensing boards, corporate compliance departments, and foreign governments.

Our loan signing services are designed to help you close your mortgage, refinance or HELOC loans with ease. We understand the importance of getting your loan documents signed and notarized on time, and we strive to make the process as smooth as possible.

• Traditional Ink Fingerprinting: Your physical prints are captured on hard paper cards (like the FD-258). This is typically mandatory for out-of-state professional licenses, executive boards, federal security clearances, immigration visas, and foreign adoption paperwork.
• Digital Live Scan: Your prints are captured electronically using a digital biometric scanner for direct database transmission.If your instructional paperwork from your employer or licensing board does not specify, give us a call and our compliance team will help you determine the correct format before booking. 

Yes. Because we utilize standard federal FD-258 hard cards, we can capture and format ink fingerprints for all 50 states, including California (DOJ), Florida, Illinois, and Texas. If you are relocating or applying for professional licensing outside of Missouri, we ensure your ink cards are prepared to meet that specific state’s statutory quality standards.

Yes, we work extensively with travel nurses. While Missouri is a Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) state, you may still need standalone licensing or endorsements for non-compact or pending implementation states (such as California, New York, or Michigan). We can print multiple cards for multiple states in a single session. We also offer a popular yearly digital fingerprint retention service—we can securely archive your biometric records so we can instantly print and ship new out-of-state fingerprint cards to you on-demand if you accept a last-minute travel assignment later in the year.

• Ink Fingerprint Cards: Your physical cards are rolled, dried, and handed directly to you during your appointment. You can immediately mail them to your requesting agency.
• FBI Background Checks: If you pair your fingerprinting session with our direct federal channeling service, your digital background results are securely emailed straight to you or your attorney within minutes up to 5 business days.

Yes, you absolutely can. The Missouri Automated Criminal History System (MACHS) contracts with high-volume retail vendors like IDEMIA/IdentoGO, which frequently results in crowded waiting rooms, limited scheduling slots, and far travel times. If you prefer an efficient, premium experience, Mobile Notary St Louis offers a seamless alternative. We print your physical fingerprint cards at our comfortable Clayton St Louis office or via our mobile service. We hand you perfect, regulation-compliant ink cards that can be mailed directly to the Missouri State Highway Patrol’s CJIS Division in Jefferson City, where they are processed through MACHS exactly as if you had stood in a retail line.

• ORI Number (Originating Agency Identifier): A nine-character code that directs your background results to the correct state or federal agency.
• TCN Number (Transaction Control Number): A unique control code generated to track your background check file. Mobile Notary St Louis does NOT issue ORI or TCN numbers. You must get these tracking codes directly from your hiring manager, human resources department, or state licensing board prior to your appointment.

An appointment for standard ink fingerprinting or an FBI background check printing session typically takes 30 minutes or less. We operate strictly by appointment only to guarantee you zero wait times. If you have an urgent deadline and do not see an available slot on our online calendar, text or call us at 855-800-3643 and we will do our best to squeeze you in.

It is common for applicants to misinterpret the complex background instructions provided by their employer. Please review your compliance paperwork carefully before booking, as we cannot choose your fingerprinting method for you. Because our technician’s time and materials are fully spent during the appointment, we do not offer refunds for services rendered if the wrong card type or service was chosen by the client. ### What is your fingerprint quality guarantee and reprint policy?We stand by our work with an explicit quality guarantee. If your ink fingerprint cards are rejected by the FBI or a state licensing board due to legibility, smudging, or print quality within 3 months of your session, we will re-roll and re-capture your prints completely free of charge. Please note: You must provide the official government rejection letter as proof, and this guarantee does not cover mobile travel fees if a technician must drive back out to your location for the reprint.
