Columbia fingerprinting questions
More questions? Call (816) 442-0295 or see the full price list.
Do you have an office in Columbia, Missouri?
Not yet. A Columbia office is planned, and its address and opening details will be announced once confirmed. Today our only office is at 8101 E. Bannister Rd, Kansas City, MO 64134. Columbia service is arranged by mobile appointment or group session; contact us for current collection options and availability.
Can nursing students in Columbia be fingerprinted as a group?
Yes. We arrange on-campus or on-site group sessions for nursing and allied health cohorts, healthcare teams, employers and security companies in Columbia and mid-Missouri. Send your group size, dates and each student’s requirement and we will send a written quote.
Which fingerprint card does my Missouri licensing board accept?
Several Missouri boards direct Missouri residents to the state’s MACHS Live Scan network rather than mailed cards, while other boards, employers and out-of-state agencies accept FD-258 cards. Send us the instructions you were given and we will confirm whether an ink-rolled card, a digitally printed card or a different route applies before you book.
How do I get an FBI background check in Columbia for a visa or an immigration attorney?
U.S. citizens and green card holders in the U.S. can use FBI Live Scan Fingerprinting with electronic submission. Non-U.S. citizens and green card holders can use our direct-FBI (EDO) services. If the destination country requires an apostille, choose a Federal Apostille package. Tell us the purpose and the country so we can confirm the right service and the Columbia collection arrangement.
How far ahead should a Columbia group book?
Earlier is better, because sessions are scheduled from Kansas City and availability is confirmed per project. Share your preferred date or deadline on the quote form and we will tell you what is realistic.
