A completed fingerprint card must be submitted with your application. Your fingerprints must be done by an authorized person at any authorized place authenticated by any local governments such as police departments, Sheriff’s office or other authorized fingerprint locations. There is a $40.25 fee for processing your fingerprint cards. The fee is paid to the Department of Public Safety (DPS) and must be in the form of a Cashier’s Check. If any further investigations are needed the costs arising from extra investigations are the applicant’s responsibility. Fingerprints must be readable. If your fingerprint card cannot be processed, it must be done again and additional fees may be required. Also, for your fingerprints to be processed, please print out the Fingerprint Background Waiver from our website, fill it out, sign it and include it with your application. Your application cannot be completed without the fingerprint results.
