Commercial Fingerprinting Services (Private Providers)

Private providers are authorized by COMAR Regulation 12.15.05 to submit fingerprints directly to the Maryland Criminal Justice Information System for the purpose of obtaining criminal history record checks. Criminal history record information obtained under this program is mailed directly to you or the agency(s) of your choice. No information regarding your criminal history is given to the private provider. In addition to the fees required by the State of Maryland for criminal history record checks the private provider will collect an additional service fee as determined by the provider. The following list of private providers is published for your convenience and should not be considered an endorsement of any particular provider by the State of Maryland:
