 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

Three things are required in order to process a national fingerprint-based background check:

  1. Fingerprints
  2. Payment
  3. Authorization from the authorized agency

New fingerprints are required each time a background check is needed. We cannot reuse fingerprints from a prior background check.
