Finra Fingerprinting

Fingerprinting Services for Finra

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., also known as FINRA for short, is a not-for-profit, non-government organization that regulates member brokerage firms, the New York Stock Exchange, and various exchange markets throughout the United States by implementing rules and regulations as well as by enforcing the rules and laws of federal securities. Individuals and firms are required to be qualified and registered with FINRA in order to sell securities or work with brokerage firms and exchange markets. One of the requirements for individuals and firms wishing to receive their license to conduct business is an FBI Background Check through fingerprint comparison. This requirement can be processed by one of two ways; Electronic Fingerprint Submission or processing fingerprints onto FINRA-specific FD-258 Fingerprint Cards and manually submitting them to FINRA.

 

Authxperts offers ink fingerprinting on FINRA fingerprint cards, which we keep stocked in our offices. We also offer electronic fingerprint submissions to FINRA.

Authxperts is qualified agency to submit electronic fingerprints

 

Authxperts is qualified agency to submit electronic fingerprints through FINRA approved fingerprint channeler to handle all of your Electronic Fingerprint Submissions (EFS) to FINRA.

 

As a certified vendor partner, we offer a secure connection where fingerprints can be submitted electronically with results being delivered back to the broker dealer through FINRA CRD. Electronic Fingerprint submissions allow for faster processing times, higher quality fingerprints, reduced rejection rates and lower FINRA fingerprint processing fees assessed to firms.

Electronic Fingerprint Submission (EFS)

Member firms and service providers who are authorized by the firm have the option to become certified by FINRA to have all fingerprint requests to be submitted electronically to FINRA. Under FINRA‘s EFS Program, firms are able to have their employees fingerprinted digitally by an approved Fingerprint Vendor Agency and submitted electronically, providing the fastest turnaround time of fingerprint results. The EFS Program is highly recommended by FINRA, as it provides;

 

Better Fingerprint Image Quality: Digital capturing of Fingerprints through Live scan processing provides far better quality of fingerprints versus standard ink-rolled processing, lower rejection/low-quality images, and reduces the chance of requiring a re-submission

 

Faster Response Time: Since digital fingerprints and electronic submission of fingerprint files are sent directly to FINRA through a secure internet server, the time frame is much fast in which FINRA receives the fingerprints, allowing for immediate transmittal to the FBI.

 

No Postage: Electronic Fingerprint Submission completely excludes the requirement for postage and mailing, thus eliminating any and all time frames included with standard, overnight, and vendor-based postal service and any fees associated toward the actual shipping of fingerprints.

Manual Fingerprint Submission

If member firms and service providers have not been authorized or do not wish to be authorized for FINRA‘s EFS process, they are then required to have a physical copy of an individual’s fingerprints mailed directly to FINRA. While this process provides a longer response time, we have the ability to still capture fingerprints digitally and have them printed onto the FINRA Fingerprint Cards, still reducing the chance of low-quality images and smudging. Individuals will still be required to obtain FINRA‘s specific Fingerprint Card.

 

 Ink-less Processing

 

Since Fingerprints are captured digitally via Live scan technology, there is no longer a need for ink or messy fingers!
