Getting your Live Scan fingerprinting rejected can be frustrating—especially when it delays your job, license, or certification. The good news is that most rejections are preventable.

Common Reasons for Rejection

1. Poor Fingerprint Quality

Dry skin, worn fingerprints, or improper technique can lead to unreadable prints.

2. Incorrect ORI Number

If the ORI (Originating Agency Identifier) is wrong, your results may go to the wrong agency or get rejected.

3. System Errors or Incomplete Submission

Missing data or transmission issues can cause delays or rejection.

4. Prior Criminal History Flagging

Sometimes it’s not a “rejection” — it’s a delay due to manual review.

How to Avoid Rejection

• Choose an experienced Live Scan provider like A1 who has been doing this for 18 years
• Bring correct paperwork
• Moisturize hands before appointment
• Verify ORI number before submission
