FINGERPRINT TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

What FINGERPRINT TECHNOLOGIES, INC. does

Fingerprint Technologies, Inc. is a privately held, founder-led fingerprinting services provider headquartered in Coral Gables, Florida, with three physical locations across South Florida (Coral Gables, Hialeah, Palmetto Bay) and references to a Miramar location. The company was incorporated in 1996 as part of I.D. Investigative Service and has been led full-time by CEO Enrique Rios since April 2014, following his 28-year law enforcement career with the Coral Gables Police Department.

The company operates an authorized Live Scan electronic fingerprinting service using ID 500 Live Scan machines to capture fingerprint images and transmit them electronically to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) and FBI for Level II criminal history background checks, or to laser-print them onto FD-258 fingerprint cards. Core products include LiveScan fingerprinting, Level II state and federal background checks, VIP/executive concierge mobile fingerprinting, on-site mobile fingerprinting for organizations and schools, fingerprint card sales, and notary services. Technology is commodity-grade biometric capture equipment with no proprietary software platform or AI/ML components disclosed.

Fingerprint Technologies earns revenue on a transaction-fee basis, charging $30 to $95 per service depending on the program (FDLE, FBI, VECHS, DCF, AHCA, DBPR, etc.), with a 3.99% surcharge on credit card payments and notary services at $10. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via walk-in retail locations plus a mobile on-site service for groups. Customer segments span individuals needing professional licensing, healthcare workers, educators and school volunteers (VECHS), child welfare applicants (DCF), attorneys (Florida Bar), financial professionals, real estate agents, and immigration applicants. Authorized-provider status with ten state and federal agencies constitutes the principal barrier to entry in the market.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Accurate Background: Background screening provider serving employers with criminal, employment, and drug screening services. Comparable as a competing channel through which applicants are funneled for fingerprint-based Level II criminal history checks.
• HireRight: Global employment background check company providing criminal history, identity, and credentialing services. Overlaps with Fingerprint Technologies on the background-screening workflow that ends in fingerprint capture and Level II criminal history checks.
• Certiphi Screening: Background screening provider with healthcare-vertical specialization that also processes fingerprint-based criminal history checks. Comparable on healthcare credentialing use cases that overlap with Fingerprint Technologies' AHCA and DBPR customer base.
• Sterling (Sterling Check): Large-scale background screening provider offering criminal, employment, and identity verification services. While broader than fingerprint capture alone, Sterling serves the same end customers (employers, licensing programs, regulated industries) and competes for the applicant-screening workflow.

Emerging players

• Checkr: Technology-driven background screening platform focused on digital-first, API-based checks. Represents the emerging competitive threat to traditional authorized-vendor fingerprinting models, particularly for out-of-state and remote applicants.

Direct peers

• Fieldprint: National provider of Live Scan and biometric identity services with a network of authorized fingerprinting locations. Directly comparable in service offering (electronic fingerprint capture, mobile/on-site options, agency-authorized submissions) and serves overlapping regulatory and licensing use cases.
• IdentoGO (IDEMIA): The largest U.S. network of authorized Live Scan fingerprinting locations, operated by IDEMIA (formerly MorphoTrust). Offers the exact same core service—electronic fingerprint capture and submission to FBI and state agencies—across hundreds of sites, making it the most direct national competitor to Fingerprint Technologies.

Regional players

• Biometric Information Management (BIS): Authorized Live Scan and fingerprinting services provider focused on specific U.S. states. Comparable in operating model (authorized vendor providing walk-in and mobile fingerprint capture) but operates in a different geography, illustrating the fragmented regional structure of the authorized-vendor market.
