When an organization needs to fingerprint a group of employees, volunteers, or students, sending everyone to an office one by one can take weeks. Mobile fingerprinting brings the service to you, making it easier to complete background checks quickly and keep your program on schedule.
Who Benefits From Mobile Fingerprinting
Mobile and group fingerprinting is especially useful for:
- School districts onboarding new staff and coaches
- Healthcare facilities and home health agencies
- Childcare centers and youth programs
- Churches and volunteer organizations
- Nursing and allied health training programs
- Businesses hiring several employees at once
- Individuals with mobility limitations
How It Works
The process is similar to an office visit, just in your location. A technician brings the equipment needed to capture fingerprints and enter applicant information. Each person still needs a valid government issued photo ID and the correct reason code. The organization usually provides a private, quiet space with a table and access to power.
Planning a Group Session
A little planning helps the day run smoothly:
- Share the reason code and recipient information with every participant in advance
- Ask participants to bring a valid photo ID
- Create a schedule so people arrive in manageable groups
- Decide whether the organization or each participant will pay
- Remind participants to wash their hands and avoid heavy lotion that day
Electronic and Ink Options
Depending on your needs, group sessions can include electronic submissions through Ohio WebCheck or traditional ink fingerprint cards. Let us know in advance which type your participants need so the right materials are on hand.
Benefits for Organizations
- Less time away from work or class for participants
- Faster onboarding and fewer missed deadlines
- Consistent instructions for everyone
- A single point of contact for questions
