Need to Send Fingerprint Cards to Border Patrol (OBIM)? We Can Help.

Attorneys, We’ve Got Your Back

If you’re an immigration attorney or representing clients in cases that require fingerprint submissions to OBIM (Office of Biometric Identity Management), you know the process can be confusing — especially when you’re asked to submit scanned digital copies of fingerprint cards.

At A1 Live Scan & Notary Services, we’ve heard the same concern from dozens of clients:

“I got fingerprinted — now how do I scan this card and send it to Border Patrol?”

The truth is, most clients (and some attorneys) don’t have high-resolution scanners or the proper file formatting to meet the agency’s standards.

What We Offer: Scan + Email Service

We now offer a “Scan and Send” service designed specifically for attorneys and clients dealing with OBIM or Border Patrol requests.

• After we complete the fingerprinting (on FD-258 cards or similar),
• We will scan the completed fingerprint card using our high-resolution equipment
• We’ll email the scan directly to your office or the designated attorney, who can then forward it to OBIM or the requesting agency.

Why It Matters

Agencies like OBIM often reject low-quality scans or improperly formatted cards. Our service ensures:

• Clear, legible prints that meet biometric standards
• Faster turnaround (you don’t need to run around scanning it yourself)
• Peace of mind for you and your client

This is especially valuable in tight immigration cases, visa renewals, or background checks where OBIM or DHS is involved.

Available in Downtown L.A. — or Mobile!

We offer this service both in-office at our Downtown Los Angeles location and through our mobile Live Scan service throughout Southern California.

Need us to come to you or your client’s office? We’re happy to arrange that too.
