Special Circumstances To Pay Attention To In Fingerprinting

By Elena McDowell


It is necessary for people to follow through Illinois fingerprinting. This is one of the most important aspects of being a legal citizen of a state, after all. This is a requirement for all applicants, benefits recipients, and licensees. The person should make sure to do this if one does not want to get into trouble with the law.

There are many types of people who are required to do this kind of procedure. It is important so that they will be acknowledged by the law. These people will include teachers, accountants, security guards, attorneys, and such. Those who bring concealed firearms are required of this too. Health care and child care providers will have to submit this too.

For some people who undergo the said procedure, they might encounter some problems with their fingerprints. This is generally the case when they have some special circumstances. If this is the case, the personnel in charge of taking fingerprints should know what to do. Here are some examples of those special circumstances and what to do during such times.

One of the circumstances that the personnel might face is a deformed finger or a missing finger. It is a good thing that one can use a postmortem kit for assistance in the recording. All the personnel has to do is to record each of the applicant's fingerprints in their corresponding rolled and plain fingerprint impression blocks.

There may also be times when the beneficiary does not only have missing fingers but fully amputated ones. This is commonly the case when the finger's first joint is no longer present physically. The amputated fingers should be properly designated using a proper notation in the corresponding fingerprint block.

While there might be those fingers that are fully amputated, there are also those which still have a portion of their first joint available. This case is called tip-amputated fingers. For such cases, then the recording will surely become a lot easier. The available fingerprint from the said portion can still be recorded.

At times, the person might encounter beneficiaries who have an extra finger. There are people who are born with this, after all. If this is the case, then the person will have to start recording the fingerprints at both the rolled and plain impression blocks from the thumb to the next four fingers. Do not bother recording the fingerprint of the extra finger.

A scarred finger is another common occurrence. This is a special circumstance that is not all that rare when it comes to this task. The person should know what to do when faced with such beneficiaries. What the person needs to do for the beneficiaries with a scarred finger is to just record them at both the rolled and plain impression blocks without any notations.

Worn fingertips are common too. This might be because of age or because of one's nature of work. If the personnel faces such circumstances during an Illinois fingerprinting, what the personnel needs to do is to apply very light pressure to take the fingerprint. Also, remember to use very little ink to have a clear pattern of the fingerprint impression.
