Welcome to Fingerprinting Solutions Plus!

Roscoe CartwrightIII • December 6, 2024

Hello, and welcome to the first-ever blog post on our freshly redesigned website! I’m Roscoe Cartwright, the proud owner of Fingerprinting Solutions Plus, and I couldn’t be more excited to share this journey with you. Whether you’re here for a quick read or diving deep into the world of fingerprinting, I promise you’ll leave more informed, maybe even with a smile. Let’s make it a good one!


Why a Blog? And Why Now?


Fingerprinting might not seem like the most glamorous topic (though, trust me, it’s pretty fascinating), but it plays a crucial role in our lives—especially during the holiday season. As December rolls in with its festive cheer, from background checks for seasonal employees to last-minute travel requirements, fingerprinting is more critical than ever.


This blog will be a hub for fingerprinting, background checks, and security. To keep things lively, we’ll sprinkle in tips, fun facts, and the occasional behind-the-scenes story. Do you have topics you want us to explore? Let me know—I’m all ears!

The Holiday Season is Here: Don’t Skip Your Background Checks


The holidays bring a lot of magic, but let’s face it—they’re also hectic! From shopping to decorating, and yes, hiring seasonal workers or volunteering, safety should never take a backseat. That’s where we step in.


Why Fingerprinting is Essential This December:


  • Seasonal Hires: Whether you’re running a retail store or managing Santa’s workshop, temporary workers are a must. Fingerprinting ensures you’re hiring trustworthy individuals.
  • Holiday Volunteering: Spreading joy is great, but many organizations require volunteers to undergo background checks—don’t wait until the last minute!
  • Travel Plans: Dreaming of a white Christmas abroad? Many destinations require fingerprinting as part of visa applications. We can help you plan.

 Fun Fact: Koalas Have Fingerprints Too!

Yes, you read that right! Koalas, those adorable tree-dwelling marsupials from Australia, have fingerprints that are strikingly similar to humans. In fact, under a microscope, it’s almost impossible to tell them apart from our own. So, next time you see a koala, remember—it could leave a “human-like” fingerprint behind! Who knew nature could be so surprising?

Planning for 2025


As the year winds down, it’s the perfect time to consider your resolutions for the new year. Here’s how we can help you kick off 2025 on the right note:


Resolutions to Consider:

  1. Get That Background Check Done: Whether for work, travel, or volunteering, make this your year to stay ahead.
  2. Organize Your Records: Keep all your identification documents in one place—trust me, it saves time!

Looking Ahead through December and Beyond


This month, we’ll discuss holiday-specific fingerprinting needs, including tips for expedited services during peak times. We’ll also sprinkle in some festive cheer—think Christmas trees, holiday music, and maybe even some candy canes at the office (but still professional).
