The live scan fingerprinting is a faster than traditional rolled ink methods. Live Scan is considered a cleaner and more accurate method of capturing fingerprints compared to the traditional ink-and-roll method, we do both technology. Fingerprints are the tiny ridges, whorls, and valley patterns on the tip of each finger. An impression or mark made on a surface by a person’s fingertip, especially as used for identifying individuals from the unique pattern of whorls and lines such as a trait, trace, or characteristic revealing the origin of responsibility. Fingerprints forms from pressure on a baby’s tiny, developing fingers in the womb. No two people have been found to have the same fingerprints, they are totally unique. There’s a one in 64 billion chance that your fingerprint will match up exactly with someone else’s. Fingerprints are even more unique than DNA, the genetic material in each of our cells. Although identical twins can share the same DNA or at least most of it, they can’t have the same fingerprints.

Fingerprint identification is one of the most important criminal investigation tools. The digital fingerprinting system reduces error rates and provides instant feedback. A fingerprint in its narrow sense is an impression left by the friction ridges of a human finger. Human fingerprints are detailed, nearly unique, and difficult to alter. An individual’s fingerprint images and demographic data (name, sex, race & date of birth, etc.) in a digitized format can be transmitted to the state’s central repository for processing over a Virtual Private Network (VPN). Once received the data at the state central repository for processing, the inquiry can then be forwarded to the FBI electronically for final processing. All of this occurs within minutes and results in a biometric identification of an individual with little or no human intervention.

Apostille vs Authentication: An apostille (French word meaning notation) is a standard certification provided under The Hague Conference on Private International Law: October 5, 1961 Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legislation for Foreign Public Documents for the purpose of authenticating documents for use in foreign countries. An Apostille is a form of certification issued by the Secretary of State to documents for use in countries that participate in the Hague Convention of October 5, 1961. If the country of intended use does not participate in the Hague Convention, documents being sent to that country may be required to obtain an additional federal Certificate of Authentication from the U.S. Department of State of Authentications placed on top of the state issued apostille. The United States has authorized the Authentication Officer of the United States Department of State, clerks and deputy clerks of the federal courts, the secretaries of state (or their counterparts) of the various states, and designated officials in the United States territories to issue apostilles. The Michigan Secretary of State is among the authorities in the United States of America authorized to issue an apostille as referred to in the Hague Treaty.
Apostille and Authentication From the Secretary of State: 50 States in U.S.; Secretary of State Officials can provide state certification (State Official Seal) for documents that bear the signature of a State Official officer or other Authorized State Notary Public Officer and are to be sent to or used in a foreign country. The Michigan Secretary of State has solely authorized the Office of the Great Seal to perform this function. For more information about the Michigan State apostille https://www.michigan.gov/sos/all-services/document-authentication-and-apostille The Office of the Great Seal may issue an apostille on documents issued by persons on file, including: Michigan notaries public, Michigan county clerks, designated deputy county clerks, city registrars (Wayne County only), and the Michigan state registrar. Certification provided by the Secretary of State’s Office does not verify the accuracy or reliability of the contents of the record. For more information about the Michigan State authentication https://www.michigan.gov/sos/faqs/office-of-the-great-seal/document-authentication
What is the difference between authentication and apostille?
An apostille is for documents to be used in countries that participate in the 1961 Hague Convention Treaty. Authentication certificates are for documents to be used in countries that do not participate in the 1961 Hague Convention Treaty.
Hague Convention of October 5, 1961 Listed Countries: Convention of 5 October 1961 Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents. The listed countries are https://www.hcch.net/en/instruments/conventions/status-table/?cid=41
Does the FBI provide apostilles?
An apostille is a certification that a document has been “legalized” or “authenticated” by the issuing agency through a process in which various seals are placed on the document.
The FBI will no longer place the FBI seal on U.S. Department of Justice Order 556-73 fingerprint search results. The FBI will authenticate all fingerprint search results by placing the FBI watermark and the signature of a division official on the results at the time of submission. Documents authenticated by the FBI may then be sent to the U.S. Department of State by the requestor to obtain an apostille if necessary. https://www.fbi.gov/how-we-can-help-you/more-fbi-services-and-information/identity-history-summary-checks/identity-history-summary-checks-faqs

Fingerprint identification is one of the most important criminal investigation tools. A fingerprint in its narrow sense is an impression left by the friction ridges of a human finger. Human fingerprints are detailed, nearly unique, and difficult to alter. The digital fingerprinting system reduces error rates and provides instant feedback.
Missing or Deformed Fingers
If the finger is missing or deformed, every attempt should be made to record the fingerprint impression blocks. If unable to record the image, simply place a notation in the fingerprint block. Missing fingers are fingers physically present but cannot be recorded at the time of capture due to injury.
Amputated fingers
If a portion of the first joint is present, record the available fingerprint pattern area in both the rolled and plain impression blocks.
Extra fingers
When fingerprinting an individual with an extra finger, record only the thumb and the next four fingers. Do not record the extra finger as either a rolled or plain impression.
Scarred fingers
Record scarred fingers in both the rolled and plain impressions without a notation.
Worn fingerprints
An individual, by the nature of their work or age, may have very thin or worn ridges in the pattern area. Record worn fingers in both the rolled and plain impressions without a notation.

Michigan’s Law on Notarial Acts (MiLONA), P.A. 238 of 2003, as amended, is an act to provide for the qualification, appointment, and regulation of Notary Publics (Notaries) by the Secretary of State. As such, a Notary is a public servant. The MiLONA prescribes the powers and duties of state agencies and local officers and provides for remedies and penalties. The MiLONA provides for the protection of citizens against fraud by requiring that a commissioned Notary verify and attest to the signing of documents. The MiLONA further provides for the admissibility of evidence and establishes the recognition of acknowledgments and other notarial acts performed outside of this state.
Notary Commission
A Notary Public commission is a statewide appointment. Although commissioned in a specific county, once commissioned, a Notary may notarize anywhere within the State of Michigan. Notaries copy must be included:
The MiLONA does not require Notaries to use an embossed seal or rubber stamp on a document. However, the use of a stamp provides for a more consistent and complete notarization.
Notarization Types
As discussed above, a commissioned Notary is authorized to perform three (3) types of notarizations.
1. Acknowledgments,
2. Administer Oaths or Affirmations (Jurat), and
3. Witness or Attest to a Signature
Note: A Notary should not decide what type of notarial act a document requires. The client must know and tell the Notary or the document itself clearly indicates what is needed. For example, if the jurat indicates that the document was “sworn to before me,” then an oath must be administered.
Oath
When administering oaths, parties should raise their right hands. The left hand may be used in cases of disability. Following the oath, the signer must answer affirmatively i.e.: I do or Yes.
If no other wording is prescribed, a Notary may use the following or similar language for an affidavit or deposition:
