Digital capture: An applicant visits an authorized enrollment center, where their fingerprints are taken with a digital scanner. This process is inkless and much cleaner than traditional methods.

Instant quality check: The Live Scan machine provides an immediate quality assessment, allowing for an instant re-scan if a print is smudged or unclear. This ensures a higher rate of acceptance and avoids rejections that are common with ink prints.

Electronic transmission: The digital fingerprints are immediately transmitted to the appropriate agencies, such as the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) and the FBI.

Faster results: By eliminating the manual process of mailing cards, the electronic submission significantly speeds up the background check, with results often available much faster than with ink methods.
