Here’s how you can use IdentoGO fingerprinting services:
1. Schedule an Appointment
- Visit the IdentoGO website: www.identogo.com
- Find your state or local service center by entering your ZIP code, and schedule an appointment at a location convenient for you.
- You can choose to have your fingerprints taken at a local IdentoGO center or, in some cases, request mobile fingerprinting if available in your area.
2. Prepare for Your Appointment
- Documents: Bring any required forms or IDs. This may include a government-issued ID and documents that explain why you're getting fingerprinted (e.g., for a job, license, etc.).
- Fees: Be aware that there are fees for fingerprinting, which vary based on the type of service. Payment is typically made online when scheduling the appointment.
3. Fingerprinting Process
- At your appointment, you will have your fingerprints taken electronically (Live Scan). The process is quick and involves placing your fingers on a scanner rather than using ink.
- Once captured, your fingerprints are sent electronically to the appropriate agency for processing (e.g., FBI, state background check).
4. Results
- Once your fingerprints are processed, you will typically receive your background check results or clearance via the agency you are applying to (like a state licensing board, employer, etc.).
- The timing of receiving the results will depend on the specific check you're undergoing (e.g., an FBI background check may take several weeks)
