Frequently Asked Questions

How do I schedule a fingerprinting appointment?
Schedule online by clicking the Book Now button above or call us at 575.751.1313. Walk-ins are also welcome.

How long does a fingerprinting appointment take?
Most appointments take 10–15 minutes from start to finish.

What is the difference between LiveScan and ink fingerprinting?
LiveScan captures your fingerprints digitally and submits them electronically to the FBI or other agencies. Ink cards must be mailed, which can add several weeks to processing and carry a higher rejection risk. LiveScan is faster, more accurate, and produces better results.

Do you offer fingerprinting for nonprofits and organizations without an ORI number?
Yes. Nonprofits and organizations without an Originating Agency Identifier (ORI) cannot access FBI databases directly and must use a third-party provider like ABQ Fingerprinting. We regularly serve nonprofits, volunteer programs, and community organizations throughout Taos.

What is an FBI Identity History Summary and can I request my own background check? Yes. An FBI Identity History Summary is an individual's official record of their own federal criminal history, commonly requested for personal use, international travel, immigration, or employment abroad. ABQ Fingerprinting can process your fingerprints electronically and submit them to the FBI on your behalf. Results are typically returned in 24 to 48 hours as a PDF delivered to your email.

Can I use my ATF-EFT file for multiple NFA applications?
Yes. Your EFT file can be reused for multiple Form 1 and Form 4 submissions. We deliver it by email for easy access whenever you need it.

Do you offer Apostille services?
Apostille services are handled through ABQ Fingerprinting's main Albuquerque location. They offer both federal Apostilles — which authenticate your FBI background check for international use in Hague Convention countries — and state-level Apostilles for documents such as birth certificates and marriage certificates. Standard and expedited processing options are available. Visit ABQFingerprinting.com to get started.
