Use this page to prepare before booking. The right ID, document condition, upload method, signing status, and agency instructions can prevent delays, rejected documents, and wrong-service bookings.
These requirements apply to most LINS service paths.
Use these service-specific requirements to route yourself into the right page.
The signer or person being fingerprinted must present valid identification. The name on the ID should reasonably match the document or agency paperwork.
If your ID name and document name differ materially, bring supporting documentation or contact us before booking.
Expired, damaged, unclear, or non-photo identification may not be acceptable. Confirm before the appointment if there is any doubt.
Many notarizations require the notary to witness the signature or administer an acknowledgment or oath properly.
If a document will be used outside the United States, notarization may only be the first step.
The country determines whether apostille, authentication, legalization, or another route may be needed.
Vital records, school records, corporate records, court records, federal documents, and notarized private documents have different requirements.
Rush, expedited, and emergency handling depend on document readiness, agency processing, and delivery timing.
The receiving party may require a certified copy, original, wet signature, specific form version, or specific wording.
If an employer, school, court, agency, or foreign recipient gave instructions, bring or upload them.
Add all signers and witnesses when booking so the service can be priced and routed correctly.
Mobile fingerprinting is ink-card fingerprinting, not electronic Live Scan. Confirm what your agency accepts.
Hague and non-Hague countries do not always use the same process. Confirm the destination before ordering.
If timing is tight, use emergency support instead of a standard service route.
Review the service path, compare pricing, or ask on WhatsApp if your ID, document, signer count, apostille country, or fingerprinting instructions are unclear.
