Fingerprint Archiving
Fingerprint archiving can provide an organized way to retain fingerprint information for eligible future needs.
We can explain available fingerprint archiving options and whether a particular fingerprinting record can be used for your intended purpose.
How Archiving Supports Long-Term Needs
Certain professionals, executives, contractors, and individuals who frequently require re-credentialing, renewal submissions, or multiple state filings explore whether their high-resolution biometric prints can be securely archived to facilitate future hard-card generation or eligible electronic re-submissions.
Before Using Archived Fingerprints
Always confirm whether the requesting agency accepts previously captured or archived fingerprints. Some applications require a new fingerprint submission.
State statutes, agency policies, and security regulations differ widely. For instance, California DOJ Live Scan transactions strictly require a fresh capture for each specific ORI transaction.
