Districts and contractors may want results sent directly to them. Bring their instructions.
Questions to Ask Before Your Appointment
Before you schedule, ask the organization that requested your background check whether it needs a BCI check, an FBI check, or both, what reason or code section should be listed, and where results must be sent. Ask whether electronic fingerprints are acceptable or ink cards are required, and who pays. Written answers make your appointment quick and accurate.
Tips for Clean, Readable Prints
Moisturize your hands for several days before your appointment, but skip lotion that morning. Drink plenty of water, remove rings if you can, and let the technician know about cuts, bandages, or calluses. Our technicians check print quality during capture and retake any print that does not meet standards before you leave.
