Arkansas Department of Public Safety (DPS) approves Bayometric as an official Live Scan vendor
Bayometric’s Live Scan system is now approved by the Arkansas DPS to provide electronic fingerprint submissions for background checks across multiple sectors.
FREMONT, CA, UNITED STATES, December 23, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Bayometric, a leading global provider of biometric identity and fingerprinting solutions, has been officially approved as a Live Scan vendor by the Arkansas Department of Public Safety (DPS).
This approval authorizes Bayometric to supply its electronic fingerprinting system to agencies, licensed businesses, and fingerprint service providers throughout Arkansas. With this approval, Bayometric’s system can now be used to capture and transmit fingerprints electronically for background checks required under state and federal laws.
The approval follows the implementation of Act 630 of 2021, enacted by the 93rd General Assembly. This act amended Arkansas Code Annotated § 12-12-1005, mandating that all background check requests for non-criminal justice purposes be submitted electronically through the Arkansas State Police Criminal Background Check System.
This law, which took effect on July 28, 2021, ensures that fingerprint-based background checks across Arkansas are completed securely and efficiently using electronic methods. Bayometric’s Live Scan technology meets these requirements, allowing seamless fingerprint submission directly to both the Arkansas Department of Public Safety and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
Why this approval matters?
Bayometric’s approval by the Arkansas DPS confirms that its Live Scan System complies with all state and federal standards for fingerprint quality, transmission, and data security under the FBI’s Electronic Biometric Transmission Specification (EBTS) and Next Generation Identification (NGI) framework.
This certification allows Bayometric to work with local Live Scan operators, licensing boards, and employers to help them meet state-mandated background check requirements through a fast, secure, and compliant process.
By offering an approved, ready-to-use Live Scan system, Bayometric simplifies the background check process for organizations in sectors such as healthcare, education, finance, and law enforcement, ensuring faster results and complete compliance with Arkansas regulations.
Industries in Arkansas requiring fingerprint-based background checks
Under Arkansas law, multiple professional and service sectors i.e. healthcare, education, financial services, public safety & security, real estate, human services must complete fingerprint-based background checks for licensing, employment, or volunteer positions. Bayometric’s approved system helps these organizations submit fingerprints electronically through the Arkansas State Police system, ensuring faster turnaround times and fewer rejections.
Each of these industries plays a vital role in public trust and safety, and the move toward electronic fingerprinting ensures greater accuracy, efficiency, and protection of sensitive data.
