Fingerprint Clearance

All employees, volunteers, and contractors working in the District are required by New York State law to be fingerprinted and undergo a criminal history background check prior to beginning employment. This process helps ensure the safety and well-being of our students and school community. Information about scheduling fingerprinting appointments and submitting the required documentation is available through the New York State Education Department (NYSED) fingerprinting page.

 

STEP 1: SCHEDULE YOUR FINGERPRINTING APPOINTMENT 

Contact Morpho Trust by going to the IdentoGO website at www.identogo.com and select Digital Fingerprinting.  All the information you need regarding fingerprinting procedures and where to schedule your appointment will be listed on the New York page. 

The total cost for fingerprinting is approximately $102.00.  You must bring two forms of identification with you and at least one form of identification must contain a photo.   Please note that paying with a Money Order can delay fingerprinting results up to 5 days.
