When it comes to identity verification and background checks, fingerprinting remains one of the most reliable methods. At M2Z Labs & Screenings, LLC, we provide both ink fingerprinting and Live Scan fingerprinting services to meet a variety of personal, professional, and legal needs. But what exactly are these fingerprinting methods, and how are they used?

What Is Ink Fingerprinting?

Ink fingerprinting is the traditional method of capturing fingerprints. Using black ink, each finger is rolled onto a fingerprint card, which is then submitted to the requesting agency or organization. This method is widely accepted for:

• FBI background checks

• Employment or licensing applications

• Immigration and travel documentation

• Adoption paperwork

• Personal record reviews

What Is Live Scan Fingerprinting?

Live Scan is a digital fingerprinting method that captures your fingerprints electronically without the need for ink. The fingerprints are scanned and submitted directly to state or federal agencies through secure systems. Live Scan is often required for:

• State and federal background checks

• Professional licensing (e.g., healthcare, real estate, education)

• Government employment

• Volunteer organizations

Which Method Do You Need?

The type of fingerprinting you need depends on the agency requesting your prints. Some agencies accept both methods, while others specifically require ink or Live Scan. If you’re unsure, we’re happy to guide you.
