Livescan Fingerprinting &

Pre-Employment Checks

Hanover Fingerprinting is a background check company focused on in-person Livescan Fingerprinting & electronic Pre-Employment Checks

Livescan Fingerprinting: schedule your appointment online to ensure your spot in our queue. When clients arrive, 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: out of state criminal background checks are critical to thorough background check because livescan fingerprinting only checks the MD and/or FBI databases for any criminal activity BUT there could still be convictions in other states that you would never know about unless you performed an out of state criminal check. We can also perform many additional checks including MVA driving checks, credit checks, plus education & employer verifications  - please just ask and we can tailor it to your needs.
