Describe the task you need completed and the organization requesting it so the provider can direct you to the appropriate service category.
Fingerprinting and compliance steps
Fingerprinting services are generally about capturing fingerprints and following a specified submission process for an agency, employer, licensing matter, or other requesting organization. The request may involve electronic Live Scan, a hard card, or another defined route, and the requesting organization should explain which one applies.
The client describes Level 2 Live Scan, background screenings, mobile fingerprinting, hard-card fingerprinting, and electronic hard-card transmittals to FDLE. Those listed categories provide a useful starting point for a Sanford inquiry, but they do not determine your eligibility or predict a screening outcome.
Investigative work is a different request
An investigative inquiry may concern fact-finding services such as surveillance, subpoena service, or insurance or workers' compensation claim investigations, which the client lists separately from fingerprinting. Explain the general objective and ask what information the provider needs before sending records or discussing sensitive details.
A fingerprinting appointment is not automatically an investigative consultation, and a provider's published service categories do not answer legal, employment, insurance, or dispute questions for you. For those questions, seek advice from the qualified professional or organization responsible for the matter.
Notary service has its own preparation
Notary service concerns the signing or acknowledgment process for a document, while the notary does not replace the person who prepared the document or provide individualized legal advice. Bring the complete document as instructed, identify the signers and witnesses involved, and ask the provider what must be present before signing.
The client lists notary public services for personal, official, and legal documents and says its official materials describe Sanford availability. Confirm current walk-in or appointment details directly, and ask the document drafter or another qualified professional about meaning, rights, or legal consequences rather than asking the notary to interpret the document.
Your preparation list
Keep these prompts for your own use. There is nothing to submit here.
- Write one sentence describing whether your need is fingerprinting, investigation-related, notary-related, or a combination.
- Bring only the agency instructions or document materials that the selected service actually requires.
- Ask which questions the provider can answer and which must go to an agency, attorney, employer, or other professional.
- Confirm current Sanford availability, identification, privacy, and fee details before sharing sensitive information.
Questions to ask a professional
- Which of your listed service categories best matches the task I need completed, and what should I prepare?
- What information can you discuss before I provide records, documents, or other sensitive details?
- Which questions should I direct to the requesting agency, document drafter, attorney, or other qualified professional?
