Colorado Fingerprinting for Employers and Licensing Agencies
Colorado Fingerprinting works with employers and licensing agencies for fingerprint processing with the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI), fingerprint cards for non-CBI purposes (employment or licensure in other states, ATF, federal purposes, etc.), FBI background checks for security guards, adoption, legal name changes, living or working in other countries, Florida livescan processing and more.
How the CABS Program will Work:
Your applicants can choose to be fingerprinted at any of our convenient locations. We have over 50 locations throughout the State of Colorado and will continue to grow to accommodate your needs. Alternatively, a mobile on-site service can be set up at your location to address peak volume needs (on-site fee may apply).
Status Portal for HR Updates Available Now:
A significant advantage of the CABS program is the new online tools that your HR Administrators can use to enhance management of the employee fingerprinting process. Colorado Fingerprinting can provide all CBI clients with an online Status Portal that allows you to see at any time the status of:
- Registered Applicants – Applicants that have registered for fingerprinting.
