Most fingerprint submissions completed via LiveScan will result in a PDF report being provided by email when complete. The PDF copy of the report is sufficient for the purposes of apostille and authentication. Simply follow the instructions from the fingerprinting agency to obtain your digital report and download to you computer or smart device. The PDF version can be submitted with your order form for apostille and authentication services. See below for instructions on how to start your apostille and authentication service order online.
