Reading Your Fingerprint Request Notice

Most notices name the requesting agency or employer, the type of check, and any service code or reference number you must use. For Pennsylvania education, child care or adoption FBI checks, the notice usually points you to IdentoGO and a specific code. Other agencies may instead ask for FD-258 ink cards and list a mailing address.

Look for a deadline, the form of identification required, and whether results go to you or straight to the agency. If anything is unclear, such as which code applies or whether ink cards are acceptable, contact the agency that sent the notice before booking. Guessing can mean paying for a check that does not meet the requirement.

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.
