After fingerprinting the child, most parents find it easiest to place the card back into the envelope, if the envelope was destroyed when opening, simply place the fingerprint card in a plastic sandwich bag for safe keeping. We find most parents keep it with important documents… do not put it in a safety deposit box, you may not have access to it when needed. Fingerprints are produced using a clear inkless solution, patented process, that leaves no messy black ink or residue on fingers or clothes.
Parents DO NOT NEED to be fingerprint experts – a black fingerprint appears quickly on the identification card when the clear inkless solution makes contact with the coated fingerprint section of the card.

Decentralized fingerprinting:
There are not enough police officers or labor available to centrally fingerprint America’s children using traditional methods. It would take more than 10 million hours or 4,800 working years, to centrally fingerprint the nation’s children.
Comprehensive, descriptive information in one place:
Children’s appearances change rapidly and simple alterations in clothes or hair make identification difficult. The ID Kit includes a section for a current photograph, as well as, space for recording descriptions and measurements.
