Fingerprinting

In most states, fingerprinting is required as part of the background checks insurance producers must pass to stay licensed and compliant. Fingerprint-based searches can be used to check an individual’s FBI and state criminal record.

Fingerprinting requirements vary by state. Some states waive the requirement if you’ve already been fingerprinted, but others like Florida and California require fingerprinting even for reciprocal licenses.

Fingerprints can be submitted electronically through state-approved vendors like Fieldprint or IdentoGO.

Applicants must first submit a license application through the NIPR or Sircon and provide a confirmation ID or transaction number on the Fingerprint Authorization Form before visiting a fingerprint vendor. This update supports DPS and FBI standards and aims to reduce processing delays, rejected fingerprints, and unnecessary costs for applicants and organizations.
