Getting fingerprinted shouldn’t mean taking time off work, driving across town, or waiting in long lines. Yet for many professionals, employers, and families, that’s exactly what the process still looks like.
That’s why demand for mobile fingerprinting services has grown rapidly across Utah. Instead of going to a fingerprinting office, certified technicians come directly to you at your workplace, home, school, or job site.

FingerprintingUtah has become a trusted provider of mobile fingerprinting by making the process simple, accurate, and fully compliant with state and federal requirements. In this guide, we’ll explain how mobile fingerprinting works, who it’s for, and why FingerprintingUtah’s approach stands out.

This service is commonly used for:
- Employers onboarding multiple employees
- Healthcare and caregiving staff
- Licensing and certification requirements
- Background checks
- Government and regulatory compliance
- Individuals with limited mobility or tight schedules
The process delivers the same accuracy and compliance as in-office fingerprinting with far more convenience.
