Why Healthcare Professionals in Georgia Still Need Ink Fingerprinting

Healthcare professionals, including nurses, physicians, pharmacists, and allied health staff, are required to complete fingerprint-based background checks for licensing and employment in Georgia. While digital fingerprinting exists, traditional ink fingerprinting remains the most widely accepted and trusted method by licensing boards, state agencies, and federal authorities.
Healthcare hiring requires thorough screening.

Most employers in the healthcare field require fingerprint-based checks to ensure compliance and patient safety. Systems like the FBI’s IAFIS contain over 70 million records, making fingerprints one of the most reliable ways to confirm identity and prevent fraud. State licensing boards, hospitals, and clinics use this process to protect patients and maintain public trust.

Why ink fingerprinting is still essential.
Ink fingerprint cards such as FD-258 and FD-1164 are accepted nationwide and are often specifically required for licensing, DEA registration, and multi-state credentialing. Unlike some digital formats, ink cards do not run into compatibility issues, making them the safest option when submitting fingerprints to multiple agencies.
