Digital Fingerprint Cards
Utilizing advanced digital LiveScan technology for precision and efficiency. Our services include processing FD-258 fingerprint cards for FBI background checks, Maryland and New Jersey fingerprint cards, Ohio Civilian Background Checks, SF-87A and FD-1164 fingerprint cards for federal purposes, and specialized fingerprinting for Children's Identity Protection. We ensure compliance with state-specific and federal requirements for employment screening, professional licensing, immigration, adoption, and security clearances. Our LiveScan technology captures high-quality digital fingerprints that reduce rejection rates and provide faster processing times than traditional ink methods. Available at all six New Mexico locations with walk-in and appointment options.
ATF-EFT File
An ATF-EFT File is a digital fingerprint file required for ATF Form 1 and Form 4 applications related to federal firearm licensing, NFA items, and gun trust transfers. This electronic format allows for faster, more secure submission and processing of fingerprints for ATF background checks for suppressors, silencers, short-barreled rifles (SBR), short-barreled shotguns (SBS), machine guns, destructive devices, and other NFA firearms. Your ATF-EFT file never expires and can be used for unlimited ATF applications, making it ideal for gun trust members, firearms collectors, and FFL dealers who frequently process NFA transfers. The file is delivered directly to your email within minutes of your appointment, ready to upload to the ATF eForms portal. We serve individual applicants, gun trusts with multiple responsible persons, SOT dealers, and Class 3 firearms dealers throughout New Mexico. Available at all six locations.
FBI Departmental Order
A Departmental Order (FBI Background Check) allows individuals to access their own FBI criminal history records for personal, employment, or travel purposes. This comprehensive background check reviews your complete federal criminal history and is commonly required for international employment, visa applications, professional licensing, expatriate living, adoption processes, and personal record verification. Results are typically delivered within 24 to 72 hours electronically. We use FBI-certified LiveScan equipment to ensure accurate fingerprint capture and fast processing. This service is ideal for individuals who need an official FBI Identity History Summary for immigration purposes, overseas employment, teaching abroad, or personal review. Available at all six New Mexico locations with same-day appointments. Walk-ins welcome.
FDLE - Florida Live Scan
FDLE Fingerprint Submission electronically transmits your fingerprints to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement for background checks required by Florida agencies and employers. As an authorized FDLE vendor, we process submissions for healthcare professionals, nurses, educators, teachers, childcare workers, security personnel, and anyone requiring Florida state background screening or professional licensing. Pricing varies based on the specific ORI (Originating Agency Identifier) provided for your submission. Our LiveScan technology ensures fast, accurate transmission directly to FDLE databases, with most results returned within 24-48 hours. We serve out-of-state applicants throughout New Mexico who need Florida background checks for employment, licensing, or relocation. Common uses include Florida nursing licenses, teaching certifications, childcare facility employment, healthcare facility credentials, and security licenses. Available at all six New Mexico locations with same-day appointments.
