Fingerprinting Question

[drewmeister2]

I am required by law to have a fingerprint clearance card to apply to a nursing program at a community college. I recently went in to have my fingerprints taken, and, having naturally sweaty hands, the fingerprints didn't end up working.

I am going in soon to have another set of fingerprints done, but if they still do not work, is there another way I could get clearance?

Thank you!

You would have to be printed, as far as I know. There are ways around sweaty hands. When you go back for the second print, be sure to let the officer know that was the problem. There are methods to dry your hands out prior to fingerprinting

Spray your palms with an anti-antiperspirant containing aluminum chlorhydrate.

Thanks to both of you!

Use a live scan machine.

Use a live scan machine.

What is that?

It's an electronic computer that takes digital prints by placing your hands on clear glass/acrylic. It actually takes better quality images with moist hands/fingers. I often have to spay people's hands with water/windex to moisten their fingers. Beats having to use the black ink pads. Those are messy!
