Exciting News: Alabama Fingerprint Solutions Opens New Office in Mobile, Inside Fastest Labs!

Posted on October 1, 2025 | By Alabama Fingerprint Solutions Team
In the heart of Alabama’s vibrant Gulf Coast, where the bayous meet the bustling ports and the air hums with the energy of opportunity, we’re thrilled to announce a major milestone for Alabama Fingerprint Solutions. As of September 29, 2025, we’ve officially opened our newest office right here in Mobile, Alabama—nestled inside the state-of-the-art facility of Fastest Labs of Mobile.

This strategic partnership isn’t just about expanding our footprint; it’s about making professional fingerprinting services more accessible and efficient for Mobile’s residents, businesses, and professionals. For years, Alabama Fingerprint Solutions has been the go-to provider for reliable, electronic fingerprinting in north Alabama. From our established locations serving Birmingham and Huntsville, we’ve helped thousands of individuals and organizations navigate the complexities of background checks, licensing, and compliance through seamless electronic submissions to agencies such as the FBI, ATF, and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE). Now, with this new Mobile office, we’re bringing that same level of expertise to the Port City and surrounding areas like Baldwin County, Daphne, and Fairhope. Whether you’re a physician getting licensed in Alabama, a firearms purchaser needing ATF compliance, or a business owner vetting new hires, our services are now just a short drive—or even a quick appointment—away.

Why Mobile? Tapping into the Heart of Alabama’s Coastal Growth
Mobile isn’t just Alabama’s oldest city; it’s a powerhouse of economic and cultural vitality. With its deep-water port handling millions of tons of cargo annually, thriving healthcare sector at institutions like USA Health, and a burgeoning tech and manufacturing scene, Mobile is attracting talent from across the Southeast. According to recent reports from the Mobile Area Chamber of Commerce, the city’s population has grown by over 5% in the last five years, fueled by remote workers, young families, and entrepreneurs drawn to its affordable living, stunning beaches, and Mardi Gras spirit.

But with growth comes demand—for jobs, for security, and for streamlined administrative processes. Fingerprinting is a cornerstone of that. In Alabama, state laws require fingerprint-based background checks for various licenses and even certain volunteer positions. Nationally, the FBI processes over 100,000 fingerprint submissions daily for employment and licensing verifications. Yet, in a city like Mobile, where traffic can snarl around the Cochrane Bridge, and appointments need to fit into packed schedules, traditional fingerprinting services often feel like a hassle—long waits, outdated ink cards, or drives to distant police stations.

That’s where we come in. By partnering with Fastest Labs of Mobile, located at 1212 Montlimar Drive, Suite C, we’re eliminating those barriers. This new office combines our specialized fingerprinting prowess with Fastest Labs’ reputation for rapid, confidential testing in drug screening, DNA analysis, and DOT physicals. Imagine walking into one clean, professional space for your fingerprints and any related drug test or health certification—all under one roof, with results transmitted electronically within days, not weeks.

Our Services: Fast, Accurate, and Tailored for Mobile’s Needs
At Alabama Fingerprint Solutions, we pride ourselves on using cutting-edge live scan technology that captures your fingerprints digitally—no messy ink, no smudges, and minimal rejection rates. Our technicians ensure every scan meets or exceeds FBI standards, reducing processing times and saving you money on resubmissions. Here’s a quick overview of what you’ll find at our new Mobile office:

  • FBI Background Checks: Electronically transmitted for fast and secure processing.
  • Florida (FDLE) and Department of Defense (SWFT) Background Checks: Submitted electronically for quick turnaround.
  • ATF Electronic Fingerprint Files (EFT): Captured and emailed directly to clients for submission to the ATF via their website.
  • Fingerprint Cards: Using Livescan to capture clients’ fingerprints, we print to FD258 cards, which we keep in stock. We can print other cards if you bring them to us.

All services start at affordable rates—live scans from $45, with no hidden fees for electronic transmission. Appointments are flexible; you can walk in, but you’ll still need to register. Make your appointment on your phone while sipping coffee at Alchemy Coffee, then come on over.

What sets us apart? Accuracy and speed. Our live scan devices boast a 99% first-pass acceptance rate, far surpassing traditional methods. And with Fastest Labs’ lab right on-site, any hybrid needs (like fingerprints plus a 5-panel drug test) get processed quickly.

The Perfect Partnership: Alabama Fingerprint Solutions Meets Fastest Labs
Fastest Labs isn’t new to Mobile—they’ve been a fixture since 2020, earning rave reviews for their service model and AABB-accredited DNA testing. Their Montlimar Drive spot is a sleek, welcoming facility with private collection rooms, sanitized equipment, and a team trained in HIPAA compliance. We couldn’t ask for a better host.

This collaboration is a win-win. For Fastest Labs clients—like the logistics firms dotting Mobile’s industrial parks or the families seeking peace of mind through ancestry DNA—we’re adding a vital service layer. For our fingerprint clients, it’s the convenience of one-stop compliance. We’re not just sharing space; we’re sharing expertise. 

Looking Ahead to our Future in Mobile
As we settle into our new home at Fastest Labs, Alabama Fingerprint Solutions is excited about what’s next. We’re planning to spend time in Mobile in the coming weeks to contact local businesses and agencies that have a need for our services.

Mobile, Alabama, you’ve got a lot to offer the world: azaleas in bloom, fresh Gulf seafood, and now, top-tier fingerprinting at your doorstep. We invite you to give us a call to discuss your particular needs. Call us at (833) 774-6810 or click the button below to schedule an appointment.
