Business Wire
L-1 Identity Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: ID), a leading supplier of
identity solutions and services, was named the exclusive provider
of digital fingerprinting services for the State of Tennessee in a
contract valued at $40 million. The three-year contract with the
Tennessee Applicant Processing Services (TAPS) program includes two
additional one-year renewals for a potential combined contract
duration of up to five years.
The fingerprints are necessary for citizens employed as child
care workers, school employees and real estate and insurance
agents. The prints are also required for those seeking a State
and/or Federal license permit, such as commercial drivers seeking
to transport Hazardous Materials (HAZMAT) and citizens seeking to
carry a handgun. The State may add more groups to the L-1
fingerprinting network over time.
“We are excited to partner with L-1 to offer our citizens a
secure method to provide fingerprints and background checks
required for employment and license permits,” said Ed Jones, Deputy
Director of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI). "L-1 is a
leader in electronic fingerprinting and their cutting edge
technology will help us process and better protect the citizens of
Tennessee from crime, theft and fraud.”
At the L-1 locations, prospective licensee and employee
fingerprints are captured in a professional environment by a
certified fingerprint technician using state-of-the-art technology
that captures the prints without the use of ink and submits them
electronically for processing via a secure private network. The
applicant’s personal information and record remain secure and
private by residing in the State’s central database system, not on
personal computers at the fingerprint locations. With the L-1
service, criminal history results are received quickly and securely
in a few days, not months. Faster results means agencies and
organizations get the identity information needed to make licensing
and hiring decisions more quickly and accurately than ever
before.
L-1 expects to process more than 175,000 applicants annually in
Tennessee and will provide residents with 57 convenient locations
statewide for fingerprinting, background checks and gathering other
biographical data required for applications and state licenses.
Multiple locations will be available in each metropolitan city, as
well as in other suburban and rural areas, with citizens able to
reach a location less than 60 miles away from their home or office.
A complete list of locations can be found at www.l1enrollment.com.
The services will be available to citizens beginning August 1,
2011.
The Enrollment Services Division of L-1 offers a reliable and
cost-effective service to governments and commercial businesses for
outsourcing the collection of civilian biometric and identification
data used for processing employment applications and license
permits. The L-1 enrollment network is the largest of its kind in
the U.S. and Canada with more than 1,400 convenient and secure
centers where more than twelve million people have been printed to
date. Services available through L-1 include the digital capture of
signatures and biometrics such as face, finger and hand prints, the
collection of bio- and demographic information and background
checks.
