What Arizona Livescan Fingerprint network does

Arizona Livescan, LLC operates a regional fingerprinting service network headquartered in Mesa, Arizona, with corporate offices in Phoenix, Mesa, and Tucson and a statewide partner network exceeding 50 locations. Founded in 2011, the company provides digital livescan fingerprint capture — using FBI-certified printers to produce FD-258 cards and generating Electronic Fingerprint Transmission (EFT) files for electronic submission — alongside ancillary services including FBI background checks, ATF eForm fingerprinting, IVP/Non-IVP Fingerprint Clearance Cards for Arizona Department of Public Safety, ID photos, and notary services. The technical foundation is hardware-driven digital capture rather than software or AI, with workflows designed to minimize fingerprint rejection rates through instant on-screen quality verification.

The company monetizes through per-transaction fees (standard fingerprinting from $29, FBI background checks at $129, IVP clearance cards at $29 plus $67–$65 in pass-through DPS government fees) and quote-based mobile fingerprinting for groups of 1–1,000+ applicants. Its customer base spans individuals seeking employment or professional licensing (teachers, healthcare workers, contractors, childcare workers, real estate agents), corporate and institutional clients requiring bulk fingerprinting, firearms applicants, and government-related use cases (concealed weapons permits, gaming industry, behavioral health licensing). Distribution combines three company-owned regional offices with channel partner locations co-located at UPS Stores, PostNet, drug testing facilities, and shipping centers — effectively a franchise-style network under a registered service mark.

Arizona Livescan operates as a privately held LLC with no disclosed institutional investment, no M&A activity, and no parent company. Recent strategic activity has been incremental: new product lines (ATF E-Form 4 fingerprinting in May 2024, Non-IVP clearance cards for Sober Living Homes in April 2026) and incremental geographic expansion (Yuma Foothills partner location in April 2026). The company is BBB Accredited and DPS-approved, but remains a single-state operator with limited disclosed financial information.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Livescan Fingerprinting Electronic capture of fingerprints via livescan equipment, with images submitted digitally to the FBI, ATF, or Arizona DPS. Designed for individuals needing an FBI Identity History Summary, an Arizona Fingerprint Clearance Card, or other state/federal background-check purposes, as well as employers coordinating employee screening.
• FD-258 Ink Fingerprint Cards Capture of fingerprints on the standard FBI FD-258 paper card for agencies and licensing bodies that still require an ink-card submission, such as certain federal background checks and out-of-state licensing applications.
• Mobile/On-Site Fingerprinting Livescan fingerprinting performed at a customer-chosen location (employer site, school, care facility, legal office, etc.) using portable equipment. Geared to Arizona employers, attorneys, licensing bodies, and government agencies that need to capture fingerprints for multiple individuals in a single scheduled session.
• FBI Federal Background Check Capture of applicant fingerprints and electronic submission to the FBI to obtain a federal Identity History Summary, generally required for employment, licensing, immigration, adoption, or other federally regulated purposes.
• ATF Fingerprinting for Firearms Permits Capture and electronic submission of fingerprints to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) via the ATF eForm process, intended for individuals applying for federal firearms licenses and related federal firearms permits.
• Arizona Fingerprint Clearance Card Capture and electronic transmission of fingerprints to the Arizona Department of Public Safety to obtain an Arizona Fingerprint Clearance Card, which is required for many Arizona-licensed professionals (e.g., educators, healthcare workers, real-estate licensees, childcare workers).
• ID/Passport Photo Service Capture of passport- and ID-conformant photos in the same visit as a fingerprinting appointment, used for applications that require both a fingerprint-based background check and a compliant photo (state licensing, immigration, employment badges, etc.).
• Notary Services On-site notary public service that authenticates signatures and documents related to licensing, employment, immigration, and other compliance workflows handled at the same location.

Broad incumbents

• Checkr: Technology-led background-screening platform increasingly moving into fingerprint-based checks; competes for the same regulated workforce customers while leveraging API-first delivery that Arizona Livescan lacks.
• HireRight: Global background-screening provider whose fingerprinting and identity services overlap with Arizona Livescan's offerings for enterprise customers needing integrated screening rather than point fingerprinting services.
• Sterling: Large background-screening platform offering fingerprint-based background checks alongside broader employment screening (criminal, drug, MVR, etc.) — overlapping with Arizona Livescan's FBI background check service as part of a much wider product portfolio.
• MorphoTrust/IDEMIA (parent of IdentoGO): Parent identity/biometrics vendor for IdentoGO; competes with Arizona Livescan at the technology-and-services layer for state agency contracts, including fingerprint capture hardware, DPS-style systems integration, and federal agency relationships.

• Fieldprint: National livescan fingerprinting service provider with a network of locations nationwide, providing electronic fingerprinting for background checks, licensing, and federal applications — directly comparable to Arizona Livescan's core service offering.
• IdentoGO (IDEMIA): Operates the largest national network of livescan fingerprinting service locations across the U.S., offering the same core FBI FD-258 card, channeler, and state clearance card services as Arizona Livescan but with multi-state coverage and federal-agency relationships.
• Accurate Biometrics: Provides livescan fingerprinting, mobile fingerprinting, and FBI/channeler background check services across multiple U.S. states, competing with Arizona Livescan for the same regulated-employment and licensing customer base.
• Certifix Livescan: Operates a national network of livescan fingerprinting locations providing FBI background checks, state clearance cards, and mobile fingerprinting services — a direct channel/network competitor to Arizona Livescan.
• Biometric Information Management: Regional livescan fingerprinting and background-check service provider operating multiple fixed and mobile locations — comparable operational model to Arizona Livescan at a smaller geographic scale.
