Livescan Fingerprinting &

Pre-Employment Checks

Hanover Fingerprinting performs background checks focused on in-person Livescan Fingerprinting & electronic Pre-Employment Checks

Livescan Fingerprinting: schedule your appointment online to ensure your spot in our queue. Appointments average less than 10 minutes. Walk-ins are welcome but priority is given to appointments. Results are normally available within 24 hours. All of our systems and procedures are approved by the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Service (DPSCS) and CJIS.

Pre-Employment Checks: livescan fingerprinting only checks the MD and/or FBI databases for criminal activity BUT there could still be convictions in other states that you would never know about unless you performed an address search and an out of state criminal check. We can check for criminal records in any state/county as well as perform many additional checks including MVA driving checks, credit checks, plus education & employer verifications  - we can tailor any of these checks to fit your specific needs.
