1. CJIS Electronic Livescan Fingerprinting


Our certified biometric technicians capture inkless, digital fingerprint impressions using state-of-the-art optical scanners. Electronic submissions eliminate smudging and human error, reducing rejection rates to less than 0.1%. Your digital prints are transmitted instantaneously over secure, encrypted channels directly to the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services (DPSCS).


2. FBI Identification History Summary Checks (Rap Sheets)


Need a national background check for federal employment, immigration clearance, international adoption, or personal review? LiveScan\MD™ is authorized to process direct FBI Identity History Summary Checks (Departmental Order). We provide expedited electronic delivery via email, allowing you to access your official clearance results in as little as 24 to 48 hours.


3. Traditional FD-258 Ink & Rolled Fingerprint Cards


While Maryland mandates electronic Livescan for in-state licensing, many out-of-state licensing boards, federal agencies, and international jurisdictions still require physical FD-258 fingerprint cards. We maintain official, archival-grade FBI FD-258 cards on-site and execute precision ink-and-roll captures that conform strictly to federal biometrics standards.


4. ATF Electronic Fingerprint Files (.EFT) for NFA Firearms Applications


Filing an ATF Form 1 or Form 4 for a suppressor, short-barreled rifle (SBR), or other NFA item? LiveScan\MD™ generates certified ATF .EFT files. We provide your digital fingerprint file via secure electronic transmission, allowing you to upload it directly to the ATF eForms portal for accelerated tax stamp processing.


5. Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) Level 2 Screening


As a certified vendor for FDLE Level 2 Background Checks, LiveScan\MD™ assists healthcare workers, real estate agents, accountants, and corporate employees who live in Maryland but require Florida state licensing. We submit live biometric data directly to FDLE, complete with applicant photo capture.


6. Specialized Firearms Licensing Prints (MD HQL, Wear & Carry, & Bundles)


We specialize in biometric processing for Maryland firearm owners and security professionals. Whether you are applying for a Handgun Qualification License (HQL), a Wear and Carry (Concealed Carry Permit), or require multi-state licensing packages (Maryland 2A / The Works Bundle), our technicians ensure your Livescan transmission includes the exact agency authorization and ORI numbers required by the Maryland State Police (MSP) Licensing Division.


7. DOT & Non-DOT Workplace Drug Testing


Beyond biometrics, LiveScan\MD™ provides comprehensive corporate health and safety screening. We operate certified urine collection facilities for both DOT-regulated employees (FMCSA, FAA, FRA) and Non-DOT private sector employment testing (Look-Alike DOT 5-Panel, 9-Panel, and 10-Panel screens with adulterant controls).

Fingerprinting Forestville Maryland

1.Pre-Registration & Document Verification:Prerequisite: Valid government photo ID & agency ORI number.

Upon arrival at our Forestville facility, present your unexpired government ID alongside your agency's LiveScan Pre-Registration form. Our intake specialist verifies your Agency Authorization Code and ORI Number to guarantee your background results route directly to the requesting organization.


2.Demographic Data Entry & CJIS Validation:


Your personal details—including full legal name, date of birth, social security number, home address, and physical descriptors—are entered into our encrypted CJIS-approved terminal. The system validates the metadata against state formatting mandates to prevent clerical rejection.


3.Biometric Optical Scanning:


You proceed to the optical scanner platform. Our certified technician cleanses your fingertips with specialized hydrating wipes to enhance ridge clarity. Each finger is systematically placed or rolled across the moisture-controlled glass platen, capturing high-resolution 500 DPI rolled and flat impressions.


4.Real-Time Quality Scoring & NIST Standard Check:


Our software checks image quality against Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) criteria. If a print exhibits poor ridge detail, the system flags it instantly, allowing the technician to re-scan until top quality is achieved.


5.Encrypted Digital Transmission & CJIS Tracking Receipt:


Once validated, your fingerprint file is encrypted using FIPS 140-2 standard protocols and transmitted directly to the CJIS Central Repository in Pikesville, MD. You receive an official CJIS Pre-Registration Receipt containing your unique CJIS Transaction Number, which serves as legal proof of compliance for your employer or licensing agency.

LiveScan Fingerprinting Forestville

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)


Here are clear answers to common questions about CJIS Livescan fingerprinting, background checks, and state regulatory standards.


General Fingerprinting & Pricing Questions


How much does CJIS Livescan fingerprinting cost at LiveScan\MD™?


At LiveScan\MD™, standard Maryland State Only requests are $55.00, while full Maryland State & FBI requests for government licensing (such as Nursing, HQL, Concealed Carry, or Security) are $65.00. Special rates apply for Prince George's County Public Schools (PGCPS) contractors and volunteers at $59.75. All posted prices include credit card processing fees.


What is Livescan fingerprinting, and how does it differ from ink fingerprinting?


Livescan fingerprinting is an inkless, digital process where your fingerprints are captured electronically using an advanced optical scanner. Unlike traditional ink-and-roll methods on paper cards, Livescan generates high-resolution digital images that are transmitted instantly over encrypted channels to state and federal databases. This eliminates messy ink, minimizes image smudging, and dramatically speeds up processing times.


How long does a CJIS fingerprinting background check take to complete?


The in-person fingerprinting process at LiveScan\MD™ - Fingerprinting Forestville takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Once submitted, the Maryland CJIS Central Repository processes most electronic background checks within 24 to 72 hours. Official clearance letters or electronic updates are sent directly to the authorized requesting agency listed on your application.


Can I walk in for fingerprinting, or do I need an appointment?


While walk-ins are welcomed at our Forestville location during regular business hours, scheduling an appointment online is highly recommended. Pre-registering online locks in your dedicated time slot, pre-populates your demographic metadata, and guarantees zero wait time upon arrival.


What is an ORI Number and Agency Authorization Code, and where do I find them?


An Authorization Number (7-digit code) identifies the employer or state agency authorized to receive your criminal background report. An ORI Number (Originating Agency Identifier) routes the results to the exact regulatory board or department (e.g., Maryland Board of Nursing, MSP Licensing). You must obtain these codes directly from the employer, agency, or licensing body requiring your background check.


What happens if my fingerprints are rejected due to poor image quality?


Certain factors, such as age, dry skin, manual labor, or exposure to harsh chemicals, can wear down fingerprint ridges. If CJIS or the FBI rejects a Livescan submission due to poor ridge detail, LiveScan\MD™ provides a complimentary re-scan session. We utilize specialized skin hydration treatments and advanced software adjustments to capture acceptable impressions.


How much does an official FBI Rap Sheet cost?


An official FBI Departmental Order (Rap Sheet) costs $95.00 at LiveScan\MD™. This service includes live biometric capture and direct electronic delivery via email, typically available within 24 to 48 hours for U.S. Citizens and Permanent Residents.


Firearm Licensing & Specialized Screening


What fingerprinting is required for a Maryland Handgun Qualification License (HQL)?


Applying for a Maryland HQL requires an electronic CJIS Livescan fingerprint submission under the specific MSP HQL Authorization and ORI numbers ($65.00). You will receive a CJIS tracking receipt with a unique PCN (Process Control Number), which you must enter into the Maryland State Police MyLicense portal when submitting your application.


How much do you charge for firearm licensing bundles?


We offer discounted bundles for firearm owners and security applicants:


  • Maryland 2A Package ($145.00): Covers 2 Maryland CJIS Livescans for Concealed Carry AND HQL, plus applicant photo.

  • The Works Package ($175.00): Covers 2 CJIS Maryland Livescans (HQL & CCW), 1 FD-258 Hard Card, and Passport Photo.


What is an ATF .EFT file, and how much does it cost?


An ATF .EFT (Electronic Fingerprint Transfer) file is a standardized digital biometric file required by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives for eForms submissions (Form 1 and Form 4). LiveScan\MD™ scans your fingerprints in person and generates the certified .EFT file for $65.00, delivering it directly for upload to the ATF eForms portal.


Can LiveScan\MD™ submit fingerprints for out-of-state licenses like Florida (FDLE)?


Yes. LiveScan\MD™ is an approved vendor for Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) Level 2 background checks ($93.00). We capture your electronic fingerprints, take the required digital photograph on-site, and transmit the complete package directly to FDLE.


Drug Testing & Workplace Health Services


How much does workplace drug testing cost at LiveScan\MD™?


Both federal DOT 5-Panel Urine Drug Tests and private sector Non-DOT Look-Alike Drug Tests (5-Panel, 9-Panel, or 10-Panel with Adulterant controls) are priced at a flat rate of $65.00.


What is included in a DOT 5-Panel Urine Drug Test?


A DOT-regulated 5-panel drug test complies strictly with Department of Transportation (49 CFR Part 40) guidelines. It screens for Marijuana (THC), Cocaine, Opioids (including codeine, morphine, heroin, hydrocodone, hydromorphone, oxycodone, and oxymorphone), Amphetamines (including methamphetamine and MDMA), and Phencyclidine (PCP).
