Your fingerprints will be submitted to the FBI immediately. Typical turn-around time from the FBI is only a few hours. Virtually all fingerprint background check transactions are completed within 48 hours.

Approximately 1% of the Applicants will be rejected due to poor fingerprint image quality. If you received a rejection notification, please contact the original live scan fingerprinting location to arrange for a "RESUBMISSION." "RESUBMISSION" is FREE! Follow the requirements below:

• Must bring the Rejection Letter from the FBI or the Requesting Agency.
• Must complete the Resubmission within 30 days (we recommend 14 days).
• Must return to the Original Fingerprint Location to perform the Resubmission.
• Rejection must be caused by poor fingerprint quality. If you entered the data incorrectly, you must initiate and pay for a NEW transaction.

We recommend that you apply ample lotion to your hands throughout the day for at least one week prior to returning to the live scan location for resubmission.
