Applying for a visa often involves several formal steps — from gathering personal documents to undergoing security checks. One increasingly common requirement is the submission of Live Scan fingerprints. This secure digital fingerprinting process plays a vital role in verifying identity and ensuring compliance with immigration and security regulations. At
When most people hear about Live Scan fingerprinting, they think of job applications, professional licensing, or background checks for volunteering. However, a growing number of people are asking a different question — can you get Live Scan fingerprints for personal use? The short answer is yes, in certain situations. But
Recurving Ridges If a recurving ridge tends to terminate on the opposite side of the impression from which it entered, it’s usually a tented arch rather than a loop. This is because a recurving ridge must touch or pass the imaginary line between the delta and core and at last
Classifying Loops can be tricky. In the figure above, the ridge enters at A and exits at the same place, at B. This is clearly a loop. But, in the image below, if a ridge enters on one side of an impression, recurves, and then passes an imaginary line drawn
Key Characteristics of loops Loops are a type of friction ridge pattern that constitute about 65% of all prints. A loop is a type of fingerprint pattern in which one or more of the ridges on either side of the impression, recurve, touch or pass in imaginary line drawn from
White spaces A white space must intervene between the delta and the first ridge count. If no such interval exists, the first ridge must be disregarded. Recurves A recurve must have no appendage abutting upon it at a right Angle between the shoulders and on the outside. If an appendage
There are a few other rules to remember about Deltas: The delta may not be located at a bifurcation which does not open toward the core When there is a choice between a bifurcation and another type of delta, the bifurcation is sleected When there are 2 or more possible
The Delta is the point on a ridge at or in front of and nearest the center of the divergence of the type lines. It can be a bifurcation, an abrupt ending ridge, a dot, a short ridge a meeting of two ridges (convergence), or a point on the first
Type lines, which enclose fingerprint patterns, can be very short, or long. Another very important characteristic of type lines is that they sometimes contain bifurcations or divergencies. A bifurcation is the forking or dividing of one line into 2 or more branches, while a divergence is the spreading apart of
Sometimes our clients have injured the tips of their fingers and express concern that this will affect their fingerprints. We explain to them that we are interested in specific pattern areas that do not include their fingertips. A pattern area is that part of a loop or whorl encompassing cores,
