Fingerprinting for Student Teachers

Before entering a classroom, student teachers are usually asked for several clearances, and the FBI fingerprint check is the one that requires an in person visit. In Pennsylvania, education related FBI checks generally go through IdentoGO using the service code your program or the state provides.

Register using your legal name and bring the ID you listed. Ask your placement coordinator how to share results, since schools often need to see a copy before your first day. Leave enough time before the semester begins, because a delay in any one clearance can push back your start date in the classroom.

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.
