WHY IT’S BETTER
Fingerprints provide biometric certainty that links criminal records to the exact individual being screened, eliminating the false matches that occur with common names or incomplete identifiers and delivering match accuracy that protects both your organization and your candidates.
Electronic fingerprint capture eliminates the delays and quality issues that ink and card methods create, with live scan technology providing instant biometric transmission to state and federal agencies.
Fingerprint based searches are required by many states for roles involving vulnerable populations, with state repository searches providing comprehensive coverage across all counties within a state through centralized databases.
Biometric data requires the highest level of security and chain of custody controls to meet privacy laws and avoid regulatory penalties, with encryption and access controls protecting sensitive information throughout the screening lifecycle.
Multi state hiring demands fingerprinting that routes to the correct agencies without manual coordination or submission errors that delay results, with centralized platforms managing multi jurisdiction submissions.
A Simple Fingerprinting Workflow
Capture fingerprints securely and route results through verified channels that protect biometric data and ensure compliance.
Schedule Fingerprint Capture
Candidates are scheduled for fingerprint capture at certified collection sites within the nationwide network of approved locations that provide convenient access regardless of candidate location.
Capture Fingerprints
Prints are collected using approved live scan or ink card methods at certified locations that follow chain of custody protocols protecting biometric data integrity throughout the collection process.
Submit for Processing
Fingerprints are transmitted to appropriate state agencies and FBI through secure channels that maintain chain of custody, with routing determined by role requirements and jurisdictional mandates.
Receive Results
Results are returned and documented with verified matches, case dispositions, and source information that supports compliant hiring decisions with audit ready records.
Biometric Screening Accuracy with Compliance for Good™
Secure capture and standardized reporting support fingerprint based criminal screening that reduces false matches
while respecting privacy through chain of custody controls and documented verification steps.
Trust & Compliance
Chain of custody controls and audit trails protect biometric data.
Fingerprints provide biometric certainty that links criminal records to the exact individual being screened, eliminating the false matches that occur with common names or incomplete identifiers. Name-based searches produce unreliable results that lead to wrongful disqualifications or missed records. Fingerprinting delivers the match accuracy that protects both your organization and your candidates from costly errors.
Yes, fingerprint-based searches match records using unique biometric identifiers rather than easily confused names, significantly reducing false positives and false negatives. Name searches return results for every person with a similar name, forcing manual review that wastes time and introduces errors. Fingerprinting delivers the first-time accuracy that keeps your screening efficient and defensible.
Yes, fingerprint data is encrypted during transmission, stored with restricted access controls, and protected by chain-of-custody documentation that meets federal privacy standards. Biometric information requires the highest security level due to its sensitivity and irreplaceability. GCheck’s handling protocols ensure your fingerprint data is protected from unauthorized access throughout the screening lifecycle.
Processing timelines range from 24 to 72 hours depending on the submitting agency, jurisdiction, and database load, with some results available same-day through electronic systems. Manual review by government staff extends timelines for certain check types. GCheck provides real-time status tracking so your team knows exactly when to expect results.
Yes, fingerprinting supports multi-state programs by routing prints to the appropriate state agencies and FBI based on role requirements and jurisdictional mandates. Centralized submission management eliminates the coordination burden of tracking multiple agency relationships. GCheck’s platform handles the complexity so your team manages one process regardless of how many states are involved.
Yes, fingerprinting requires the individual to physically provide biometric capture through approved live scan or ink card methods at certified collection sites. Remote or proxy submission is not possible due to the biometric nature of the process. GCheck’s nationwide network of collection sites ensures convenient access regardless of candidate location.
