Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Whats the difference between your service and traditonal ink methods?
A: Our modern technology captures cleaner, more accurate prints with no smudging. Cards are printed immediately during your appointment. Our service includes two cards, a chipboard, and a mailer.
Q: Do you handle New Mexico state licenses?
A: For state licensing in New Mexico clients will need have their ORI number and schedule with Identogo by Idemia. We handle federal applications and out of state requirements.
Q: What is the difference between Fingerprint cards and an FBI Background check?
A: Paper fingerprint cards mailed directly to the FBI take up to 12 weeks for results due to postal delays and manual processing, while electronic submission through an approved FBI channeler provides results in 24-72 hours with significantly higher acceptance rates due to digital quality control and direct electronic transmission to the FBI.
Q: What is an ATF EFT File?
A: An ATF-EFT file (Electronic Fingerprint Transmission) is a digital file containing your fingerprints and demographic information in a standardized FBI format, used for ATF eForm applications like Form 1 and Form 4 for NFA firearms. This encrypted file can be uploaded electronically to the ATF instead of mailing physical fingerprint cards, allowing for faster processing of tax stamp applications.
Q: Do you offer fingerprinting and background services for Florida?
A: Yes, we are an authorized FDLE vendor providing Level 2 background checks through electronic Livescan fingerprinting. We submit fingerprints directly to FDLE for state and federal criminal history searches required for Florida licensing, healthcare, education, and childcare positions, with results typically available within 3-5 business days and AHCA-compliant photos when needed.
Q: What is an FBI Apostille for?
A: An FBI Apostille is a certification by the U.S. Department of State that authenticates your FBI background check for international use in countries that are part of the Hague Apostille Convention. At ABQ Fingerprinting, we offer comprehensive FBI Apostille services to streamline this process for you. Once you have received your FBI background check from us, simply visit our website and select the Apostille service, upload your PDF file, and choose between regular processing (4-6 weeks) or expedited delivery (7-9 business days). This service is commonly required for employment abroad, visas, immigration, or study abroad programs.
