Participants will be responsible for this fee unless otherwise indicated by the organization.

- We will need a table or desk that is located near an electrical outlet to set up our equipment.
- We will also need a district contact person to schedule the appointments for your staff. The actual fingerprinting process goes very quickly (approx. 5 to 10 minutes per person), This, however, requires a little foresight and preparation.
