Fingerprinting Administration.

Some roles require fingerprint-based background checks - not because it's a best practice preference, but because state licensing boards, federal mandates, or industry-specific regulations say so. When your organization needs fingerprinting, CIChecked manages the submission process, so your team isn't buried in logistics for a compliance requirement.

What CIChecked's Fingerprint Administration Includes

• Collection Coordination: CIChecked coordinates the scheduling and logistics of fingerprint collection, whether your candidates need to visit a collection site or you require on-site services. We handle the moving parts so your HR team doesn't become a scheduling department.
• Proper Collection Procedures: Fingerprint submissions that don't follow proper procedures get rejected - creating delays, rework, and frustrated candidates. CIChecked ensures collection is done correctly the first time, following the specific requirements of the requesting agency or regulatory body.
• Submission Management: Once collected, fingerprints need to be submitted to the appropriate agency through the correct channels. CIChecked manages that submission process and tracks it through to completion.
• Status Tracking: From collection appointment to final submission, CIChecked tracks your fingerprint cases so you have visibility into where each candidate stands in the process - no black holes, no guessing.
  
  

Who Needs Fingerprint-Based Background Checks

Fingerprint-based checks are typically required by external mandates, not employer preference. Common triggers include state licensing requirements for healthcare workers, educators, and childcare providers; federal mandates for positions with access to classified information or federal facilities; and industry-specific regulations in financial services, transportation, and government contracting.

If your industry or state requires fingerprinting, it's not optional - but managing the process efficiently is where CIChecked adds value.

An Important Note on Comprehensive Screening

Fingerprint checks serve a specific purpose, and they do it well. But they should be part of a comprehensive screening program - not the entire program. Fingerprint databases depend on arrest records that include prints, which means offenses processed without fingerprinting won't appear. A complete screening program layers fingerprint checks with criminal database searches, county court records, and other verification tools to ensure full coverage.

Bottom Line: CIChecked manages fingerprint collection, submission, and tracking for organizations that need fingerprint-based background checks to meet licensing, regulatory, or federal requirements. We handle the logistics and compliance details so your team can focus on hiring — and we'll make sure fingerprinting is part of a screening strategy, not a substitute for one.
