Need fingerprinting for a job application, teaching license, or concealed carry permit? The traditional route—visiting a police station or government office during business hours—often means long wait times, rigid schedules, and taking time off work. There's a better way.
TLG Notary Services brings professional mobile ink fingerprinting directly to your Greensboro home or office. With evening and weekend appointments, we make the process convenient, comfortable, and stress-free.
What Is Mobile Ink Fingerprinting?
Mobile ink fingerprinting is exactly what it sounds like: a certified fingerprint technician travels to your location with professional-grade supplies to capture your fingerprints using traditional ink and standard FD-258 cards. The resulting prints are clean, crisp, and accepted by the FBI, DOJ, and all state and federal agencies.
Unlike digital live scan fingerprinting (which requires specialized equipment and often fixed locations), ink fingerprinting can be performed anywhere—your kitchen table, your office, or even your car. This flexibility makes it ideal for mobile service.
Who Needs Ink Fingerprinting?
Employment Background Checks
Many employers require fingerprint-based background checks as a condition of hire. Whether you're applying for a position in healthcare, finance, education, or government, properly captured ink prints are often required.
Teaching Licenses
North Carolina requires fingerprinting for all public school teachers and many private school educators. The state accepts properly completed FD-258 cards for background checks through the Department of Public Instruction.
Concealed Carry Permits
Guilford County residents applying for or renewing a concealed carry permit need fingerprinting as part of the application process. Mobile ink fingerprinting saves you a trip to the sheriff's office.
Adoption Home Studies
Both domestic and international adoption processes typically require fingerprint-based background checks for all adults in the household. Mobile fingerprinting allows you to complete this requirement without disrupting your family's schedule.
Professional Licensing
Real estate agents, insurance brokers, financial advisors, healthcare providers, and many other licensed professionals need fingerprinting for initial licensing and renewals.
Immigration and Naturalization
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) requires fingerprinting for green card applications, naturalization, and other immigration benefits. Properly executed FD-258 cards are accepted.
Volunteer Positions
Schools, churches, youth organizations, and non-profits often require fingerprinting for volunteers working with children or vulnerable populations.
The TLG Notary Fingerprinting Process
Step 1: Schedule Your Appointment
Book a time that works for you. We offer evening and weekend appointments throughout Greensboro and surrounding areas.
Step 2: We Come to You
Your certified fingerprint technician arrives at your designated location with professional-grade supplies: ink pad, FD-258 cards, cleaning wipes, and everything needed for clean, acceptable prints.
Step 3: Capture Your Prints
We guide you through the process, gently rolling each finger on the ink pad and then onto the FD-258 card. We ensure proper pressure, placement, and clarity.
Step 4: Quality Check
We review each print for quality. If any prints are smudged or unclear, we recapture them immediately. You leave with a completed, acceptable fingerprint card.
Step 5: You Submit
The completed FD-258 card is yours to submit to the requesting agency, employer, or licensing board.
