Fingerprinting

Student Services is now doing electronic fingerprinting! You must be registered with the State Office of Education before you can be fingerprinted.

 Place and Times

Location: 120 MCKB

(Be sure to bring $10 on your signature card and a Government issued photo ID with you)

How to get registered

1. Go to www.utah.gov/teachers   Click on Background Check
2. Read and fill out the information.  Be sure the address you enter is a permanent address and the university you enter is Brigham Young University.
3. Pay the $69.00 fee with a major credit card.
4. Generate the LiveScan authorization form from the Utah State Office of Education at the end of this process.

IMPORTANT: You have 60 days from the date on the LiveScan authorization form to have your fingerprints taken.  If you wait beyond the 60 days, you must start the process over again and pay an additional $69.00.  Please time your registration appropriately.

 How to get fingerprinted

1. After you have registered online with the state, you will receive an authorization to be fingerprinted.
2. Come a few minutes early to allow yourself time to sign in.
3. Bring your authorization, a government-issued photo ID, and $10.00 (on your signature card) to 120 MCKB. 
4. Include a copy of your authorization form with your program application.

 The fingerprinting usually takes 10-15 minutes, and you can come any time between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.  If you wait until the end of the day, you may face long lines or have time run out before you can be fingerprinted.
