Q: Is there a cost to me for this background check?
A: No, however, If you provide us with information that is a qualifier for
fingerprints; i.e. out of state residence in the last 5 years or any criminal history,
fingerprints may be required. If fingerprints are required, you will be instructed to schedule an appointment for Livescan with a Third Party agency. You must be prepared to pay $12.50 by credit/debit card at the time that you schedule this appointment. Appointments for fingerprints should be made within two days of being notified that you need fingerprints.
Q: What will I need to bring with me to this appointment?
A: For ALL Background Checks SI’s must bring a valid state issued photo ID, for most it will be a driver’s license but other acceptable forms include state issued ID, passport, social security card, or others (like birth certificate or military ID).
Q: How long do my credentials last once I am approved?
A: If the state approves your background check then you may work for two years as a paid provider. If you begin fulfilling other job duties than which your current background check is approved for, you may be required to fill out paperwork for a new background check.
