Reduce False Matches with Biometric Screening

Fingerprinting Services

Fingerprinting services capture biometric identifiers to support identity confirmation and criminal record searches. Fingerprint based screening improves accuracy by linking results directly to an individual.

WHY IT’S BETTER

Biometric Accuracy for Identity Confirmation

Fingerprints reduce reliance on name-based searches and improve match reliability.

Biometric Identity Matching

Fingerprinting provides biometric level identity confirmation that reduces false matches caused by similar names or incomplete identifiers. This method links records directly to an individual for higher accuracy in regulated screenings.

Digital and Live Scan Options

Fingerprint based searches are required for many regulated roles such as healthcare, education, and government positions. They help organizations meet agency specific screening mandates with defensible documentation.

Reduced False Matches

Results are returned from authoritative government sources rather than secondary databases. This improves confidence in record accuracy and audit readiness.

HOW IT WORKS

Biometric Screening Accuracy with Compliance for Good™

Secure capture and standardized workflows support compliant biometric screening.

Live Scan Fingerprinting

Fingerprint capture supports both electronic and live scan workflows depending on jurisdiction requirements. This flexibility helps organizations screen candidates efficiently across locations.

Identity Linked Results

Biometric matching minimizes the risk of mistaken identity during background checks. This protects both employers and candidates from inaccurate reporting.

Secure Data Transmission

Fingerprint records are securely transmitted and stored using controlled access protocols. This protects sensitive biometric data throughout the screening process.

Multi Jurisdiction Support

Fingerprinting integrates with broader background screening workflows for centralized tracking. This reduces administrative effort and manual coordination.

Trust & Compliance

Secure Fingerprint Handling

Chain of custody controls and audit trails protect biometric data.

COMMON CONCERNS ANSWERED See How Our Approach Supports Compliance and Consistency

Why are fingerprints used in background checks?

Fingerprints provide biometric confirmation that links records directly to an individual. This reduces false positives caused by name-based searches.

Are fingerprint results more accurate than name searches?

Fingerprints are used because they provide biometric confirmation that directly links records to a specific individual. This reduces the risk of false matches that can occur with name-based searches, especially for common names or identity variations. Fingerprinting is often required for regulated roles or government-related screenings.

Is fingerprint data secure?

Yes. Fingerprint-based searches are generally more accurate than name-only searches because they match records to unique biometric identifiers. This minimizes errors caused by aliases, name changes, or incomplete personal information.

How long does fingerprint processing take?

Fingerprint processing timelines depend on the agency, jurisdiction, and system used for record matching. Some results are returned quickly through electronic systems, while others may require additional time for manual review or government processing.
