DoW SWFT Fingerprinting Services in Alabama
Alabama Fingerprint Solutions – Secure, Electronic Fingerprint Submission for Department of War Contractors
Since 2010, the U.S. Department of War (DoW) has required a full transition to electronic fingerprint capture and submission for all background investigations. By December 31, 2013, every DoD component and participating companies in the National Industrial Security Program (NISP) completed this shift to the Secure Web Fingerprint Transmission (SWFT) program managed by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM).
Alabama Fingerprint Solutions proudly supports defense contractors, cleared personnel, and organizations requiring compliant SWFT submissions. Our certified technicians use advanced LiveScan technology to capture high-quality digital fingerprints that meet strict DoW and FBI standards, minimizing rejections and speeding up processing times.
Comprehensive SWFT Fingerprinting Services We Offer
- Digital Fingerprint Capture and Direct SWFT Submission — We electronically transmit your fingerprints and demographic data securely to OPM via the SWFT system.
- Hybrid Services — Digital capture combined with printed hard-copy cards (SF-87 or FD-258) for backup or specific requirements.
- On-Site and Mobile Fingerprinting — Ideal for groups, facilities, or busy contractors. Our mobile team travels to your location across Alabama.
Whether you need standard clearance support or expedited service for time-sensitive contracts, we deliver fast, accurate results.
Why SWFT Fingerprinting Matters for DoD Contractors
The SWFT program streamlines the personnel security process for National Industrial Security Program (NISP) participants. Electronic submissions reduce paperwork, lower error rates, and accelerate investigations compared to traditional ink cards. Accurate prints are critical — poor quality can delay clearances and impact project timelines or compliance status.
At Alabama Fingerprint Solutions, our staff receives ongoing training on DoD requirements. We help Facility Security Officers (FSOs) and individuals navigate the process smoothly, including providing EFT files when needed for internal systems.
