Fingerprint Boston in Tewksbury, Massachusetts, now accepts FD-258 fingerprint cards mailed from overseas, inspects and prepares them for submission, and assists with apostille, translation and return shipping so Americans living abroad complete a background check requirement without traveling to the United States.

Tewksbury, MA, United States, 31st Aug 2026 — Fingerprint Boston, a fingerprinting and document services office in Tewksbury, Massachusetts, has launched a remote fingerprint processing service for United States citizens who live outside the country and need an FBI background check for purposes such as foreign residency, work authorization, professional licensing or adoption.

The service allows applicants to complete the fingerprint capture step where they live and mail the card to Massachusetts rather than traveling to the United States. According to the US Department of State, embassies and consulates abroad do not provide fingerprinting services, which has left many Americans overseas without a clear path to complete the requirement.

How the service works

Applicants have their fingerprints taken on a standard FD-258 card by a local provider in their country of residence, typically a police station or a private fingerprinting service. They then mail the completed card to Fingerprint Boston’s office in Tewksbury, MA. On arrival, technicians inspect the card for print quality and completeness. Cards that pass inspection are scanned on a high-resolution fingerprint scanner and converted to digital format. Fingerprint Boston prepares the fingerprint materials for submission and assists applicants with the FBI background-check process.

When the applicant’s destination country requires additional steps, Fingerprint Boston coordinates the apostille processing and certified translation of the completed report. The company then ships the document package to the applicant’s address abroad.

Card inspection before submission

The company reports that the most common reason mailed cards fail is print quality, including smudged ridges, incomplete rolls, missing signatures and damage during shipping. Each card is checked before scanning, and applicants are notified if a new card is needed before the materials are prepared for submission.

Fingerprint Boston recommends that applicants request two complete card sets from their local provider and ship cards flat between rigid backing to limit damage in transit. Applicants are advised to confirm with the authority requesting the document whether an apostille, a translation or both are required.

“People living abroad were being told to fly home for a 15-minute appointment,” said Hanson Webb, owner of Fingerprint Boston. “The card can travel instead of the person. Our role is to ensure the card that arrives is accepted and to assist with the next steps.”

Webb has operated a document services business in Tewksbury since 2007. The office also provides Live Scan fingerprinting, FD-258 ink card capture, apostille coordination and certified translation for residents and employers in Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire.

New York, New York, United States, 31st Aug 2026 – For professionals working from home, traveling for business, or moving between locations, access to full-size document printing can be limited by the portability of traditional printers. To address this need, Phomemo has introduced the M85 Portable Printer, combining A4 and Letter-size printing with a compact 1.6-pound design, a large touchscreen, 300 DPI resolution, inkless printing technology, and flexible connectivity for smartphones and computers.

A Large Touchscreen for More Direct Control

The feature that immediately stands out on the M85 is its large built-in touchscreen.

Rather than relying entirely on a smartphone or computer to control the printer, the M85 puts more information and functionality directly on the device. The touchscreen can display the printer’s real-time battery level, connection status, and paper position, helping users understand the printer’s status before starting a print job.

The touchscreen also supports template preview, editing, and direct printing. Frequently used documents, forms, receipts, or other materials can be uploaded as templates and accessed directly from the printer for repeated printing.

Users can also personalize the device with wallpaper, while multi-language support and built-in guides make the printer easier to navigate.

According to Phomemo, these features make the touchscreen more than just a visual feature. It helps the M85 function as a more independent printing device, reducing the need to constantly switch between the printer, phone, and computer.

For anyone who prints the same types of documents repeatedly, that can make everyday printing considerably simpler.

Full-Size Printing in a Portable Design

One of the biggest advantages of the Phomemo M85 is that it doesn’t force users to choose between full-size printing and portability.

The M85 supports US Letter and A4-sized printing, allowing users to print documents, contracts, invoices, forms, reports, and other full-size materials while away from a traditional printer. It also supports smaller paper formats, including 53mm, 80mm, and 110mm, giving users more flexibility for different printing needs.

Despite supporting full-size documents, the M85 weighs only 1.6 pounds and has a compact, folding-umbrella-sized design. It can easily fit into a backpack, work bag, or luggage, making it practical for people who regularly move between locations.

The built-in paper compartment adds another layer of convenience by keeping paper readily available inside the printer, so users don’t necessarily need to carry a separate stack of paper just to print a few documents.

For remote workers, business travelers, and small business owners, that combination can be particularly useful: full-size printing without carrying a full-size printer.

Flexible Connectivity for Mobile and Desktop Work

The M85 supports printing from Android and iOS devices via Bluetooth, while USB-C connectivity supports Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, and Linux. This allows documents to be printed from smartphones or computers depending on the workflow.

The M85 is also compatible with commonly used file formats, including Word, Excel, PDF, JPG, and other major formats, making it suitable for a variety of everyday printing tasks.

Whether the document starts on a smartphone or a computer, the M85 is designed to make getting it onto paper relatively straightforward.

Inkless Printing for Work on the Go

The M85 uses inkless thermal printing technology, eliminating the need for traditional ink cartridges. This reduces the need to carry or replace ink when printing away from a traditional office setup.

The M85 is equipped with a 3500mAh battery that supports 200+ pages on a single charge, providing capacity for everyday printing without requiring users to stay close to a power outlet.

These features make the M85 suitable for a range of work and travel situations. Remote workers can use the printer when working from home, coworking spaces, or other locations, while business travelers can print contracts, forms, receipts, and meeting materials without relying on hotel business centers or local printing services. For small business owners, the M85 provides a convenient option for handling paperwork between locations, while its multiple paper sizes also support everyday personal tasks such as lists, schedules, notes, and travel documents.

More Portable Printing Options from Phomemo

The M85 is part of Phomemo’s broader range of portable printing solutions, with different models designed around different printing needs.

The M832D focuses on everyday document and photo printing, while the M08F offers a lightweight option for users who prioritize simple mobile printing. For users who prioritize faster printing and added flexibility, the G100 Pro offers printing speeds of up to 100mm/s, AirPrint support, and compatibility with multiple paper sizes.

Together, these options give users different ways to balance portability, printing format, speed, and functionality depending on how and where they print.

About Phomemo

Phomemo is a thermal printing brand focused on portable printing solutions for work, business, creativity, and everyday life. Its product lineup includes portable document printers, label printers, photo printers, and other compact printing solutions designed for users who need more flexibility than a traditional desktop printer can offer.

The M85 represents a more full-featured approach to portable printing, bringing together full-size document printing and smart operation in a compact format.

Fingerprint Boston in Tewksbury, Massachusetts, now accepts FD-258 fingerprint cards mailed from overseas, inspects and digitizes them for submission, and coordinates apostille, translation and return shipping so Americans living abroad complete a background check requirement without traveling to the United States.

Tewksbury, MA, United States, 31st Aug 2026 — Fingerprint Boston, a fingerprinting and document services office in Tewksbury, Massachusetts, has expanded its mobile fingerprinting service to employers, care facilities and residents across the Greater Boston area. The service brings Live Scan digital capture and FD-258 ink card fingerprinting to a client’s location. A technician travels with the capture equipment, fingerprints individuals or groups on site and reviews each set of prints for quality before leaving.

Who the service is for

The expansion responds to two groups. The first are employers whose new hires must complete a fingerprint-based background check as a condition of employment or licensing, including healthcare facilities, schools, security firms, financial services firms and contractors. On-site capture allows a group to be fingerprinted in a single visit during the workday. The second is residents who have difficulty reaching an office appointment, including people in assisted living, individuals recovering from illness or surgery and caregivers who cannot leave a dependent. The service is available at private residences by appointment.

Service area and scheduling

Mobile visits are available throughout Metro Boston, including Boston, Cambridge, Somerville, Newton, Quincy and Lowell, with extended coverage into Worcester County and southern New Hampshire by arrangement. Visits are scheduled in advance and quoted by group size and location. Fingerprint Boston also provides in-person service at its Tewksbury office by appointment. Office rates are $49.95 for an FD-258 ink card set, $65 for Live Scan capture and $125 for FBI background check submission support.

Some background checks required by Massachusetts state agencies must be completed through the state’s designated fingerprint vendor and cannot be performed by a private provider. Employers and applicants are advised to confirm with the requesting agency which type of check applies before scheduling any appointment.

“Employers were sending new hires across town one at a time and losing half a day each,” said Hanson Webb, owner of Fingerprint Boston. “Bringing the equipment to the workplace completes the same requirement in one visit.”

Webb has operated a document services business in Tewksbury since 2007. The office serves individuals and employers across Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire.
