Fingerprints are captured electronically using Live Scan equipment and printed onto an official FD-258 fingerprint card. In most cases, the completed card is mailed to you after your appointment so you can submit it with your application to the appropriate Texas agency or authorized fingerprinting provider. If a fingerprint card needs to be resubmitted, we offer free recapture and mailing of a replacement card.
Most fingerprinting appointments take approximately 10 to 15 minutes. This includes ID verification and electronic fingerprint capture. Processing times after submission depend on the Texas agency or licensing authority reviewing your application.
Processing times vary based on the Texas agency or licensing authority receiving your fingerprint card. Certifix provides fingerprint capture and card preparation, but the review timeline is determined by the agency handling your background check or application.

At least one ID must be from the primary ID list and must match your current legal name and date of birth. Additionally, at least one ID must show your current valid U.S. address. Please review our ID requirements before your appointment to ensure you bring acceptable documents.
