Basic and Advanced Fingerprinting Services
The Original Gold Standard for Personal Identification
Fingerprints have been legally admissible as personal identification in the United States since 1911.
At AZ Biometrics, we combined the precise touch and attention to detail traditionally required of Fingerprint Technicians with the speed, accuracy, and confidentiality afforded by the latest innovations in the fingerprint industry to bring basic and advanced fingerprinting services to the greater Tucson area.

Two fingerprint capture options for you to choose from!

In the unlikely event that the fingerprints are rejected, we will retake your fingerprints at no cost to you, no questions asked.

FBI Background Checks pull data from the Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS), the same system relied on by government agencies, the legal justice system, and police jurisdictions nationwide.
Our LiveScan technology transmits encrypted fingerprint captures directly to the FBI for processing. Results can be ready in as little as 48 hours.
Available for US citizens and resident aliens.

Apostille Services
US citizens planning to live, work, or go to school in a foreign country that participates in the Hague Treaty may need an Apostille.
While anyone can obtain an Apostille from the Secretary of State, our customers trust us to help simplify a process that can often be both confusing and time-consuming.
Our Apostille Service covers the FBI Background check as well as the filing of all documentation required to process your Apostille application.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to general questions we most often hear from customers.
Don’t see your question? Give us a call – it is our pleasure to help!
If I opt for digital fingerprints, how long is my personal information stored?
By law, all information captured by LiveScan technology must be kept in a secure, locked area and destroyed within 40 days of capture.
At AZ Biometrics, we highly value the importance of treating your personally identifiable information (PII) with the highest levels of confidentiality and security. We invite you to refer to our Privacy Policy for more information.
What information is included in a FBI Background Check?
Because it accesses a national criminal database, FBI Background Checks are very accurate and comprehensive.
Information in the report covers everything from arrest and conviction history and military service records to moving traffic violations and parking tickets.
How long does it take the ATF to process eForms 1 and 4?
According to the National Gun Trusts’ website, the ATF processing time for eForm 1 is 45 days versus 55 days for the paper-based submission.
Using eForm 4 reduces the processing time to 193 days instead of the 253 days it takes to process paper submissions.
