Matching Your ID to Your Application

Fingerprint operators must verify identity before capturing prints, and they compare your photo ID against the registration or form you bring. A different last name, a missing middle name, or an expired card can stop the appointment or cause problems when results are matched to your file later.

If you recently married, divorced or changed your name, register with the name on your current government ID and list prior names where the form asks. Make sure the ID is unexpired and in good condition. Pennsylvania IdentoGO registrations and FD-258 cards both rely on the details you provide, so accuracy at this stage helps the check move forward smoothly.

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.
