Minnesota Live Scan Fingerprinting Services – Locations Near You

Minnesota agencies may require in-state fingerprinting for certain programs, but many employers, licensing boards, and federal agencies accept fingerprint cards submitted by mail. If you’re applying out of state or need an FBI Background Check for travel, adoption, or personal review, Certifix offers a convenient solution.

You can get your fingerprints captured and printed on a standard FD-258 fingerprint card, which you then submit to the appropriate agency. You can also complete a nationwide FBI Identity History Summary Check using our secure and user-friendly enrollment platform.

To begin, just enroll online and choose a location near you. Certifix provides a smooth, professional fingerprinting experience that’s designed around your needs—wherever you are.
