Certification
LiveScan.org Fingerprinting Certification
Training for fingerprint technicians, mobile operators, and service providers who want to follow a standards-based capture and routing workflow.
Curriculum
What the training covers
Identity verification
Verifying customer identity documents correctly before any capture session begins.
Capture quality standards
Producing clean, readable prints — digital and ink — that meet agency quality expectations.
Rejection prevention
The workflow checks that catch wrong submission types and quality problems before they cost the customer time.
Routing fundamentals
Understanding digital vs. card-based requests, agency requirements, and when to escalate for guided review.
Mobile operations
Running on-site sessions for individuals, groups, and organizations — for providers offering mobile service.
Why certification exists
Most fingerprinting problems are preventable: wrong submission type, poor print quality, incomplete cards, missed agency instructions. Certification trains providers to catch these before they happen — so routed customers get a consistent, low-rejection experience anywhere a trained provider operates.
Certified or trained providers may be available in select areas, and certification status is one of the factors used when routing requests.
