Fingerprinting in Florida — No Ink Needed

Electronic Fingerprinting, Occupational Medicine

Governmental agencies, medical universities, and employers looking for basic background information on their employees have previously counted on paper and ink fingerprinting. Advances in scanning technology now make this process much easier. With the proper machines, many places can now offer electronic fingerprinting.

With the old-fashioned ink system, companies often saw only an 85 to 90 percent accuracy rate in their final reports. Electronic fingerprinting technology, however, is much more dependable. Employers can expect 100 percent accurate results that reach into State and National criminal history databases and give a complete picture of the employee or future employee’s background. Only when the fingerprints cannot be read clearly will the individual be referred out for the traditional card and ink method.
