Fingerprint Collection
Certainty in hiring is the desire of businesses to assure safety and mitigate risk.
Through the use of fingerprint based criminal record searches, companies can further
mitigate risk and identify an applicant or employee with a possible criminal past.
USIS has established a comprehensive nationwide network to bring you live scan (electronic)
fingerprint capabilities in safe, sterile, medical clinic locations. This allows
us to ensure complete information privacy of your employees and applicants. The
transaction is processed by professionals trained to properly handle chain of custody
information.
The fingerprint collection process is simple for both the employer and applicant.
- The employer places an order on the USIS web platform.
- Based on the zip code of the applicant, USIS determines the appropriate collection
site and then sends an easy-to-read chain of custody document with a barcode to
the employer which directs the applicant to the nearest collection site for processing.
- The applicant then visits one of our medical center partner locations where the
transaction will be conducted in a professional, sterile environment.
- The status of the process is posted on the USIS ordering website for the employer
to view.
USIS’ fingerprint collection is supported by multiple agencies, including
the following channeling agencies: American Bankers Association (ABA), National
Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) and the NY Clearinghouse.
When needed, we can utilize our database of over 17,000 ink and card collection
sites for those remote locations that may not have access to nearby live scan centers.
We will then scan those cards using an FBI certified scanner, convert the prints
to digital format and send them electronically to the proper repository.
