FINGERPRINTING OPTIONS updated
8/8/08
You have two options for providing your fingerprints to SBEC.
Option ONE (highly recommended)...
is the electronic submission process using the Texas Department of Public Safety’s approved vendor (formerly Identix). This method provides for the electronic capture and submission of your fingerprints and is the fastest and highest quality option available (rejection rate for quality is 2%). The turnaround time for SBEC to receive a copy of your completed criminal history background from the Texas Department of Public Safety and the Federal Bureau of Investigations averages 48 hours. The requirements for this option include acknowledged receipt from SBEC of payment of the criminal background check fee of $42.25. and a working, individual email account. For more detailed information on this process, click here.
Option TWO ...
is the ink fingerprint process using cards provided by SBEC. This is the standard collection of fingerprints by inking and rolling. This is a more time consuming process with often inferior results (rejection rate for quality is approximately 25%). The turnaround time for SBEC to receive a copy of your criminal history background from the Texas Department of Public Safety and the Federal Bureau of Investigations using this method varies widely ranging from a matter of days to months. The requirements for this option include acknowledged receipt from SBEC of payment of the criminal background check fee of $42.25. The fingerprint card method is only available to applicants for certification, not Senate Bill 9 constituents. For more detailed information on this process, click here.
Note: If you have already been issued a fingerprint packet before, you will not have the opportunity to utilize Option 1. You will need to complete the fingerprint process utilizing the cards provided to you.
