New requirements for background check fingerprinting

Effective September 30, 2024, every person will need to provide documentation showing that they have electronically signed consent forms before getting fingerprinted.

This is a federal requirement.

What’s required?

When you enter information in BCIS, you are prompted to sign these forms electronically.

Once you’ve finished the BCIS process, you need to keep a record that you signed the FBI Privacy Consent. This record could be:

• Your BCIS ID Card, which will note that you signed the documents (see example)
• Print-out of the signed consent forms
• Screenshots (or pictures) of the signed forms

When you go to have your fingerprints taken, you must provide this documentation.
