Why Grand Rapids notaries and small businesses add fingerprinting

A note on Michigan requirements
One important note for Michigan: Live Scan is regulated at the state level, and requirements for providers vary. Ink-card fingerprinting (for FBI channelers and out-of-state applicants) is generally lighter than becoming an approved Live Scan vendor. The course shows you how to determine what applies in Michigan — but you'll confirm your own state and agency rules before taking a paying client.
