May I get a photograph enrolled for facial recognition and not have my fingerprints captured?
No, fingerprints are required to enroll.

Can I request my fingerprints be deleted if I no longer want them on file?
Yes, but only fingerprints that are taken for this reason code.
Is this information stored at a Federal Level?
Currently federal laws do not allow these to be stored at a federal level. Efforts are being made to get these laws changed so they may be maintained nationwide.
Can contact information, such as residence or contact’s phone number be updated?

Your results will be sent directly to the organization associated with the agency ID number given to you by the organization requiring your prints. Some school districts will share results and some districts will accept shared print results. Most other agencies will not.
Will I be able to see my results?
No. They are sent electronically to the requesting agency only.
Do you keep my results on file?
We never ever see the results. Only the requesting organization will see them.
