What Is LiveScan Print-to-Card?
Live Scan fingerprint scanners capture accurate digital fingerprints, which we then print onto standard RCMP C-216 forms or FBI FD-258 cards using an RCMP-certified printer. It is a clean, modern alternative to traditional ink and roll — and the result is accepted by the FBI and other law enforcement agencies.
