Anshin Mobile Notary & Livescan owns and operates five independent educational publications. Each one covers a different part of the work we do every day, in more depth than a service page allows.
We publish them separately because the questions are genuinely different. Someone trying to understand why their fingerprints keep getting rejected is not doing the same job as an HR manager scheduling forty employees, or a physician preparing documents for a licensing board in another state. Each publication is written for one of those readers.
All five are written and edited by Aaron Anshin. Each link below opens that publication’s article archive.
How fingerprinting actually works — fingerprint science, print quality, why some fingerprints are difficult to capture, and the things experienced technicians notice that applicants are never told.
The operational side of mobile fingerprinting: onsite setup, corporate and group events, high-volume scheduling, and what it actually takes to run fingerprinting at a workplace instead of an office.
Understanding the FBI background check system — how applicants obtain an FBI Identity History Summary, what submission options exist, what the report contains, and where the process commonly goes wrong.
Preparing an FBI background check for use in another country: federal apostilles, why California cannot apostille a federal document, certified translation, and international submission.
International document projects from end to end — document preparation, authentication pathways, certified translation, chain of custody, and coordinating documents across states and borders.
These five sites are ours. We write them, we host them, and we say so on every article they publish. That is different from coverage other publications have written about us, which we list separately so the distinction stays clear.
None of these publications sell anything. When a reader decides they would rather have the work handled than explained, that is what Anshin Mobile Notary & Livescan does.
