10 Common Fingerprinting Mistakes to Avoid

Read This Blog

Common fingerprinting mistakes that lead to rejected international background checks include writing your name in the wrong order on the card choosing the wrong purpose code for why you're being fingerprinted, using a card format the destination country doesn't accept, and not accounting for worn or dry skin ridges before the appointment. Working with a trained provider like Globeia, which uses the correct country-specific cards and runs on-site quality checks, helps avoid most of these issues before the card is even submitted.
