Completing Fingerprint Forms Correctly

Whether you register online for an IdentoGO appointment or complete an FD-258 card, the details must be accurate. Use your full legal name, date of birth and other identifiers exactly as shown on your government ID. Print clearly in black ink on paper cards and leave official use boxes blank.

Fields such as the reason for fingerprinting or the agency identifier are often supplied by the employer or licensing body, so do not guess at them. If you are unsure, bring the instructions to your appointment and ask the technician. Errors on a form are one of the most common reasons a background check is delayed or returned.

What to Bring to Your Appointment

• A valid, unexpired government photo ID such as a driver license, state ID or passport
• Your registration confirmation or service code if the check is booked through IdentoGO
• Any FD-258 cards supplied by the requesting agency, left unsigned until you are with the technician
• The paperwork or instructions from the employer, school or agency requesting your prints
• Payment in a form the provider accepts

Which Check Do You Need?

Many Pennsylvania jobs that involve children, such as teaching, child care and volunteering, call for three clearances: the Pennsylvania State Police criminal record check, the child abuse history clearance and an FBI fingerprint check. The first two are requested online; only the FBI check needs fingerprints. Other employers, licensing boards and out of state agencies may instead ask for prints on FD-258 cards. Ask the requesting agency which one applies before you book.

How Long Results Take

Electronic FBI results for Pennsylvania clearances often arrive within a few business days to two weeks. Ink card results depend on the agency you mail them to and can take several weeks.
