Verification Process

Our staff will:

Compare your photo ID against your appearance.

Match biographical data (DOB, address, height, etc.) against your documents.

Check signatures for consistency.

Verify that IDs are unaltered and unexpired.

When applicable, use machine-readable features (barcode/mag strip) to confirm authenticity.

Policy on Service Denial

If you cannot provide acceptable identification at the time of fingerprinting, we cannot proceed with your submission. You will be asked to reschedule your appointment and return with the required documentation. This protects the integrity of the background check process and ensures compliance with FDLE, FBI, and Compact Council standards.
