Keeping Mistakes at Bay

FBI fingerprints is one of the most powerful and extensive database of criminals. In fact, it is not only used to solve criminal cases, but is now popularly used as an integral part of the pre employment process of most HR departments. Most companies request applicants to conduct a fingerprint based background check at authorized Live Scan centers, so as to steer way from hiring people with a criminal background for responsible positions. However, to avoid rejection of fingerprints or delay in the hiring process, it is important for the captured fingerprints to be legible. Mistakes in capturing can be costly.

Ensuring Clarity

So, here are some tips to ensure capturing legible fingerprints.

• Palms and fingers must be clean. Although using soap and water is best for cleaning, hands can also be cleaned with the use of alcohol swabs.
• Hydration is essential for legible fingerprints. If the applicant’s hands are rough and dry due to their lifestyle demands, they must be hydrated with lotion. However, the excess residue must be wiped off before placing the hands on the scanner.
• Ideally, the scanner should be placed thirty nine inches above the floor level, as the forearm of most people is parallel to the floor at this height. This is the ideal position to capture fingerprints with perfection.
• The person scanning their fingerprints must stand at a forearm’s length to the scanner to ensure proper capturing of fingerprints.
• Being relaxed while scanning is necessary.
• People at the Live Scan center duly assist applicants to roll the fingerprints, so as to avoid mistakes.
• The glass paten of the scanner must be clean to ensure capturing correct fingerprints.
