Fingerprint & Background Check Information

Open both links to access fingerprint procedures, information and the self-disclosure form. The self-disclosure form needs to be completed and signed in front of a Notary.  Notaries are available in banking institutions, hospitals, and on campus. The Educational Theory and Practice office has staff members who are Notaries. 

The fingerprint handout provides local ( Billings ) information.  If living elsewhere, county sheriff’s office may also provide fingerprinting services. 

When submitting your fingerprint card to the licensure official, remember to attach a check or money order for $27.25 written out to Criminal Justice Information Services Bureau along with the Consent to Fingerprint Background Check and Notarized Self-disclosure. The fingerprint card cannot be mailed to Criminal Justice for a background report without the signed Consent form.
