- Gather acceptable forms of identification
- Read the legal FAQs on background checks
- Change, correct, or update your national criminal history record response
- Provide a copy of your fingerprinting receipt to the HR office if you are a staff person
- PARENT VOLUNTEERS: Provide a copy of your fingerprinting receipt to the school's Administrative Assistant, or send them an email letting them know you completed fingerprinting.
