Fingerprinting & Background Checks for Grandview, Missouri

From Main Street, Truman Corners and western Grandview

Take I-49 (US-71) north to the Grandview Triangle and follow I-470 east. Exit at Blue Ridge Boulevard, head north to Bannister Road, then turn east to 8101 E. Bannister Rd. If you prefer, you can instead stay on I-435 north from the Triangle and exit at Bannister Road, then drive east. Both routes take about the same time outside rush hour.

From eastern Grandview and Blue Ridge Boulevard

If you live east of I-49, near Blue Ridge Boulevard, High Grove Road or the Longview Road area, you can skip the highway entirely. Blue Ridge Boulevard runs northeast from Grandview to Bannister Road, and from there our office is a short drive east. Many clients from this side of town find it the most relaxed way in.

Timing, traffic and parking

Drive times on this page are estimates. They vary with traffic, weather and construction, and the I-49 and I-470 interchanges at the Grandview Triangle can slow down during weekday rush hours. Give yourself a few extra minutes if you are booked between 4PM and 6PM on a weekday. Saturday mornings are usually quick. Appointments are recommended so you are not waiting when you arrive.

Rather not make the drive?

Our mobile fingerprinting service comes to Grandview. We bring the equipment and cards to your home, office or job site, which is useful for anyone with limited mobility, parents with small children, or a small business that needs several people printed at once. Individual mobile visits are the standard service price plus a travel fee quoted before booking. For employer and team sessions, group pricing is quoted in writing before we book, based on headcount, card types and location.

We name the organizations below only as local reference points. They are not affiliated with Midwest Identity Services, and the requirement for any role is always set by the licensing board, agency or employer, so check your own instructions before you book.

Hospitals and health systems

Grandview does not have its own hospital, so its healthcare workers commute to nearby systems: Research Medical Center in Kansas City, University Health Lakewood Medical Center on Lee’s Summit Road, and Belton Regional Medical Center a few exits south on I-49. Nurses, technicians and allied health staff at hospitals like these often need fingerprints for licensing rather than for the job itself. A nurse applying to the Kansas State Board of Nursing submits a fingerprint card, which we roll; see our Kansas Board of Nursing fingerprinting page. Missouri licensing boards generally route fingerprints through MACHS and IdentoGO, so Missouri residents licensing in Missouri should follow the board’s own instructions. Travel nurses and clinicians licensing in several states can use multi-state print-to-card when permitted by the receiving agency.

Schools and colleges

Staff at the Grandview C-4 School District, including Grandview High School, and at Hickman Mills C-1 schools in the south Kansas City part of the area, need a Missouri DESE background check for certification. Missouri residents complete that at an IdentoGO location through MACHS, not with us. We help educators who live in Kansas or another state, who can use MACHS card processing with an FD-258 card we roll, and anyone who also holds a Kansas or out-of-state license. Students at Metropolitan Community College campuses and other area nursing and allied health programs often need prints for clinical placements or out-of-state board applications; our nursing student fingerprinting page covers those.

Employers and business areas

Peterson Manufacturing, the vehicle lighting maker headquartered on East 135th Street, is one of Grandview’s best-known employers, alongside the City of Grandview, the retail and restaurant cluster at Truman Corners, and the warehouses and service businesses along I-49 and US-150. Workers in these settings most often need employment fingerprints, contractor and vendor access screening for client sites, federal contractor prints, or DOT and non-DOT drug testing. Employers can open a corporate account to send new hires without paperwork each time.

Because our office is so close, Grandview employers can send a new hire for fingerprints and a drug test in the same trip. We offer DOT drug and alcohol testing for FMCSA-regulated drivers, including pre-employment, random, post-accident, reasonable suspicion, return-to-duty and follow-up tests, and non-DOT 5-panel and 10-panel testing for employers outside transportation. Every collection follows chain-of-custody procedures.

After a qualifying accident, DOT testing windows start right away, so carriers based along I-49 should save our number, (816) 442-0295, and read our DOT post-accident testing page before they need it.
