If you live in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, you know how valuable your time is. Between the sprawling highways, packed schedules, and the infamous Texas traffic (we’re looking at you I-635), the last thing anyone wants to do is spend hours at a government office or police department waiting for fingerprinting services. This is exactly why DFW Mobile Fingerprinting emerged in 2020 – we recognized the critical need for accessible, professional mobile fingerprinting services in our community.

The Frustration of Traditional Fingerprinting Services

Last month, I received a call from Daniel, a doctor who needed fingerprinting for his out of state license he was getting. He told me about his previous fingerprinting experience: taking valuable time off work, driving 45 minutes in traffic to an office to have a bad customer service experience, and then driving back 45 minutes to work.

Daniel’s story isn’t unique. I’ve heard countless similar experiences from people across Dallas, Fort Worth, Irving, Plano, and surrounding communities. That’s why when he called us, we were able to meet him at his office workplace during his lunch break. Total time spent? Just 20 minutes.

The Mobile Fingerprinting Difference

So what makes mobile fingerprinting so different? Let me break it down from our experience serving the Dallas-Fort Worth community:

1. We Come to You

Our mobile service eliminates the need for you to travel to a physical location. Whether you’re at home, your office, or even a coffee shop, we bring our state-of-the-art equipment directly to you. Just last week, I drove out to a Doctors office in downtown Southlake where they needed all 10 of their physicians fingerprinted. Instead of losing a full day of productivity with everyone leaving the office, we completed the entire process on-site during their lunch hour.

2. Significant Time Savings

The average visit to a traditional fingerprinting facility in the DFW area takes 1-3 hours when you factor in:

• Travel time to and from the location
• Finding parking (and often paying for it)
• Waiting in line
• Processing time

With our mobile service, most appointments take 15-20 minutes from start to finish. For those with busy schedules in the metroplex – whether you’re a healthcare professional at Baylor Scott & White, an executive needing licensing for a different state, or an individual seeking employment credentials – those saved hours make all the difference.

3. Enhanced Privacy

We’ve always believed that fingerprinting should be a private process. Traditional facilities often have crowded waiting rooms and offer little privacy during the actual fingerprinting.

When we come to you, whether it’s your home in Southlake or your office in Las Colinas, you enjoy complete privacy. This is especially important for professionals who need fingerprinting for sensitive positions in security, financial services, or healthcare.

4. Flexible Scheduling

One of the biggest complaints we hear about traditional fingerprinting centers is their limited hours. Most are open 9-5, Monday through Friday – exactly when most people need to be at work!

We offer same-day appointments when available, with flexible scheduling to accommodate your needs. We’ve even done emergency weekend appointments for clients who received last-minute job offers that required immediate background checks.

5. Same-Day Availability

In today’s fast-paced job market, waiting days for a fingerprinting appointment can mean missing out on opportunities. I still remember helping a client in Euless who called us in a panic – he needed to be fingerprinted in 3 hours before he flew out for his daughter’s college visit on the east coast.

We pride ourselves on often being able to offer same-day service throughout the DFW area. When you need fingerprinting done quickly, we make it happen without the stress.

Who Benefits Most from DFW Mobile Fingerprinting?

During the pandemic, our mobile fingerprinting business was established to ensure Dallas residents and professionals could still obtain the essential fingerprinting services they needed. We’ve found that mobile fingerprinting is especially valuable for:

• Busy professionals who can’t afford to take time off work
• Healthcare workers who need fingerprinting for licensing or new positions
• Executive Assistants who need their C-level executives to be fingerprinted in office
• Financial services professionals requiring FINRA fingerprinting
• Legal firms processing multiple employees
• People with mobility issues who find travel difficult
• Parents who can’t easily arrange childcare

The Technology That Makes It Possible

We offer both traditional ink-rolled fingerprinting and modern digital scanning services to meet all your needs. Our digital scanning technology is perfect for Identity History Summary requests and our Print-to-Card service, where clients can save time by requesting 8+ cards. With digital scanning, we simply scan your fingers once and print as many cards as needed, making the process much faster than traditional ink rolling.

Our comprehensive services include FD-258 fingerprint cards for FBI background checks, Identity History Summary Checks, FINRA fingerprinting for securities professionals, and specialized services like ATF FFL transfers. Our team of certified mobile fingerprint technicians brings professional experience to every appointment, ensuring precise fingerprinting for background checks, identity verification, notarization services, and regulatory compliance across various industries and government agencies.

Cost vs. Value

Some people ask if mobile fingerprinting costs more than traditional options. While our service may have a slightly higher upfront price, the value becomes clear when you consider:

• The gas and parking fees you save
• The value of your time (often 1-3 hours saved)
• The opportunity cost of missing work
• The convenience of not having to rearrange your schedule

For many of our DFW clients, the small additional cost is far outweighed by these benefits. Just ask Michael from Frisco, who told me, “I was able to have my fingerprinting done during a 30-minute break between Zoom meetings. It would have taken my entire afternoon otherwise.”
