A Multi-State Fingerprinting Vendor Built for Distributed Organizations
When employees, students or licensed staff are spread across several states, Midwest Identity Services acts as your multi-state fingerprinting vendor: one partner to plan requirements, coordinate FD-258 and Live Scan fingerprinting, and keep every location on schedule.

The multi-state problem
Why multi-state fingerprinting is difficult
Fingerprinting is managed state by state. Your organization isn’t.
Every state has its own channel
Live Scan networks, agency codes and applicant processes are typically managed at the state level.
Out-of-state applicants add complexity
Someone who lives in one state but is employed or licensed in another may need FD-258 cards instead of Live Scan.
Many vendors, little visibility
Using a different provider in each market makes it hard to know who has been fingerprinted and what is still outstanding.
Fragmented invoices
Separate providers mean separate invoices, rates and reconciliation work for HR and finance.
One fingerprinting vendor for companies with employees in multiple states
Instead of managing a patchwork of local providers, route every location through a single, coordinated program.
- Headquarters hires
- Regional branches
- Remote employees
- Licensed field staff
One program
Single vendor, single point of contact
- Requirements mapped by state
- Sessions scheduled by location
- FD-258 and Live Scan coordinated
- One contact for every question
Multi-state Live Scan submission for corporate onboarding
Onboarding a distributed hiring class shouldn’t mean a different fingerprinting process in every state.
We help HR and talent teams build fingerprinting into onboarding: confirming which states support Live Scan for the role, arranging capture near employees or at a central orientation, and using FD-258 cards where electronic submission isn’t an option.
- Requirements confirmed ahead of start dates
- Capture scheduled around orientation or first-week plans
- Consistent attendee instructions across every location
Group fingerprinting events, organized market by market
Organizations looking for a national group fingerprinting provider usually need flexibility more than anything else.
Some programs work best as one large session; others need a series of smaller events in several markets. We recommend a format based on headcount, geography and deadlines. Nationwide mobile fingerprinting for corporate clients is coordinated project by project, with availability in each market confirmed before you commit.
Discuss your locationsEvent formatsMixed within one program
Hub events
Bring a regional group to one location for a single scheduled session.
Mobile site visits
Fingerprinting at individual offices, branches or campuses.
Rolling onboarding
Recurring sessions timed to hiring cycles in each market.
Launch events
Larger one-time sessions for new contracts, acquisitions or program starts.
One vendor for FD-258 and Live Scan fingerprinting across multiple states
Most multi-state programs need both methods. Managing them together avoids gaps when one state accepts electronic submission and another requires cards.
Electronic
Live Scan
Suited to applicants processed by an agency in a state that supports electronic submission for that purpose.
- Electronic transmission to the state agency
- No physical cards to mail
- Availability varies by state and purpose
Portable ink card
FD-258 cards
The standard FBI applicant card, commonly used for out-of-state applicants, federal requirements and agencies that require hard cards.
- Portable across many jurisdictions
- Used where Live Scan isn’t available
- Reviewed for completeness before release
Centralized billing for multi-state group fingerprinting events
Finance teams shouldn’t have to reconcile invoices from a different fingerprinting provider in every state.
Multi-state programs can be set up with account-level billing and a consistent record of the sessions and services delivered. Billing arrangements are agreed during program setup.
Program accountAgreed at setup
Consolidated invoicing
Program-level invoices instead of one per location or attendee.
Clear references

Contact our teamWhat is a multi-state fingerprinting vendor?
A multi-state fingerprinting vendor coordinates fingerprinting for people located in, or applying to agencies in, more than one state. Instead of engaging separate providers in each market, the organization works with one vendor to plan requirements, schedule capture and manage follow-up.
Can one vendor handle both FD-258 cards and Live Scan?
Yes. Many multi-state programs need both: Live Scan where a state supports electronic submission, and FD-258 cards for out-of-state applicants or agencies that require hard cards. We coordinate both within one program.
Which states do you cover?
Coverage is confirmed program by program, based on where your people are located and the requirements involved. Share your locations and we will confirm what we can support before you commit.
Can billing be centralized for events in several states?
Multi-state programs can be set up with centralized billing so your organization isn’t reconciling separate invoices for each location. Billing arrangements are agreed during program setup.
