Who this guide is for

Use this if you are deciding whether live scan is a real business—and what it takes to open a desk that can actually submit to agencies.

• First-time operators

  You want a capture site from scratch: hardware, software, channels, and a path to first revenue.

• Existing print shops

  You already roll ink or print cards and want electronic live scan without inheriting a decade-old stack.

• Adjacent businesses

  Notary, security, healthcare staffing, or a licensing school adding fingerprinting as a desk service.

• Mobile operators

  You plan to go to employers, schools, and events—and still need legal channels and certified capture.

If you already run volume on a legacy vendor, start with LiveScan360 for experienced operators instead. This page is the launch playbook.
