Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q: What's the difference between your service and traditional 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 employment or licensing? A: No. New Mexico state employment and licensing (anything requiring an ORI number) must go through Identogo by Idemia. We specialize in federal applications, FBI background checks, out-of-state requirements, adoption, immigration, ATF applications, and Florida Live Scan services.

  • Q: What DO you handle then? A: We specialize in: FBI background checks for federal employment, out-of-state professional licensing, adoption and foster care, immigration applications, ATF firearm applications, Florida FDLE background checks, apostille services for international use, and private employer requirements that don't need New Mexico state processing.

  • Q: I'm applying for a federal job - can you help? A: Yes! We handle FBI background checks and fingerprinting for federal employment, security clearances, and federal contractor positions. This is one of our most common services for Las Cruces residents and CBP Border Patrol personnel.

  • Q: What's 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. 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 for Las Cruces gun owners and collectors.

  • 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. This is perfect for Las Cruces residents with property or professional interests in Florida.

  • Q: I have a professional license in another state - can you help me maintain it? A: Yes! We handle fingerprinting for out-of-state professional licenses, multi-state compact licenses, and license renewals that don't require New Mexico ORI processing.

  • 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. Once you receive 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). Common for employment abroad, visas, immigration, or study abroad programs.

  • Q: I was told I need fingerprinting for my job/license - how do I know if I should come to you or go to Identogo? A: If your paperwork includes an ORI number (Originating Agency Identifier) for New Mexico state agencies, you need Identogo. If it's for federal agencies, out-of-state requirements, adoption, immigration, ATF, or private purposes without an ORI number, we can help! Call us at 575-524-6964 if you're unsure.

  • Q: Is parking available at your Main Street location? A: Yes! We're located at HTM Security Services with free parking available. The location is wheelchair accessible with easy access from I-25 and University Avenue.
