Fingerprinting Information

Submitting your fingerprints is NOT required to submit your application to the Office of Attorney and LLP Admissions. To submit your application, you are required to complete and upload the Fingerprint Requirement Form. The Fingerprint Requirement Form is available in your online application portal. Again, submitting your fingerprints is NOT required to submit your application to the Office of Attorney and LLP Admissions. Submission of your fingerprints is required to complete the character and fitness review of your application. That will be completed AFTER your application is submitted.

The Office of Attorney and LLP Admissions does not accept hard copy fingerprint cards for processing.

Two fingerprinting vendors are approved: IdentoGo and Colorado Fingerprinting. You will submit your fingerprints to one of these agencies. They will in turn, submit them directly to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for processing. CBI provides our Office with a copy of your criminal background report that is reviewed by our Office.

NOTICE TO APPLICANTS

As an applicant for a position requiring fingerprints to be submitted to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, YOUR FINGERPRINTS WILL BE SUBMITTED TO AND RETAINED BY THESE AGENCIES TO CHECK STATE AND FBI RECORDS.

Discrepancies on your Colorado record can be challenged and corrected by calling the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, Biometric Identification and Records Unit at (303) 239-4208 or the arresting agency. Additional information about the record challenge process is available on CBI’s Website.

Disposition information is available from the Colorado State Court’s website.

Sealing information is available on the Colorado State Court’s website or CBI’s website.

Discrepancies on records from the FBI or another state can be challenged directly through the FBI. Information can be found on the FBI website. The U.S. Department of Justice Order 556-73 establishes rules and regulations for the subject of an FBI Identification Record to obtain a copy of his or her own record for review. The FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Division processes these requests.

Who may request a copy of a record (or proof that a record does not exist)?

Only you can request a copy of your own Identification Record.

How to request a copy of your record?

The FBI offers two methods for requesting your FBI Identity History Summary or proof that a record does not exist.

Option 1: Submit your request directly to the FBI. (See above FBI website for information)

Option 2: Submit to an FBI-approved Channeler, which is a private business that has contracted with the FBI to receive the fingerprint submission and relevant data, collect the associated fee(s), electronically forward the fingerprint submission with the necessary information to the FBI CJIS Division for a national criminal history record check, and receive the electronic record check result for dissemination to the individual. Contact each Channeler for processing times.

AGENCY INSTRUCTIONS: To comply with federal law, provide a copy of this document to each applicant that is fingerprinted.

FBI Privacy Act Statement

This privacy act statement is located on the back of the FD-258 fingerprint card.

Authority: The FBI’s acquisition, preservation, and exchange of fingerprints and associated information is generally authorized under 28 U.S.C. 534. Depending on the nature of your application, supplemental authorities include Federal statutes, State statutes pursuant to Pub. L. 92-544, Presidential Executive Orders, and federal regulations. Providing your fingerprints and associated information is voluntary; however, failure to do so may affect completion or approval of your application.

Principal Purpose: Certain determinations, such as employment, licensing, and security clearances, may be predicated on fingerprint-based background checks. Your fingerprints and associated information/biometrics may be provided to the employing, investigating, or otherwise responsible agency, and/or the FBI for the purpose of comparing your fingerprints to other fingerprints in the FBI’s Next Generation Identification (NGI) system or its successor systems (including civil, criminal, and latent fingerprint repositories) or other available records of the employing, investigating, or otherwise responsible agency. The FBI may retain your fingerprints and associated information/biometrics in NGI after the completion of this application and, while retained, your fingerprints may continue to be compared against other fingerprints submitted to or retained by NGI.

Routine Uses: During the processing of this application and for as long thereafter as your fingerprints and associated information/biometrics are retained in NGI, your information may be disclosed pursuant to your consent, and may be disclosed without your consent as permitted by the Privacy Act of 1974 and all applicable Routine Uses as may be published at any time in the Federal Register, including the Routine Uses for the NGI system and the FBI’s Blanket Routine Uses. Routine uses include, but are not limited to, disclosures to: employing, governmental or authorized non-governmental agencies responsible for employment, contracting, licensing, security clearances, and other suitability determinations; local, state, tribal, or federal law enforcement agencies; criminal justice agencies; and agencies responsible for national security or public safety.

Noncriminal Justice Applicant’s Privacy Rights

As an applicant who is the subject of a national fingerprint-based criminal history record check for a noncriminal justice purpose (such as an application for employment or a license, an immigration or naturalization matter, security clearance, or adoption), you have certain rights which are discussed below. All notices must be provided to you in writing. These obligations are pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974, Title 5, United States Code (U.S.C.) Section 552a, and Title 28 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), 50.12, among other authorities.

  1. You must be provided an adequate written FBI Privacy Act Statement (dated 2013 or later) when you submit your fingerprints and associated personal information. This Privacy Act Statement must explain the authority for collecting your fingerprints and associated information and whether your fingerprints and associated information will be searched, shared, or retained.
  2. You must be advised in writing of the procedures for obtaining a change, correction, or update of your FBI criminal history record as set forth at 28 CFR 16.34.
  3. You must be provided the opportunity to complete or challenge the accuracy of the information in your FBI criminal history record (if you have such a record).
  4. If you have a criminal history record, you should be afforded a reasonable amount of time to correct or complete the record (or decline to do so) before the officials deny you the employment, license, or other benefit based on information in the FBI criminal history record.
  5. If agency policy permits, the officials may provide you with a copy of your FBI criminal history record for review and possible challenge. If agency policy does not permit it to provide you a copy of the record, you may obtain a copy of the record by submitting fingerprints and a fee to the FBI. Information regarding this process may be obtained at https://www.fbi.gov/services/cjis/identity-history-summary-checks and https://www.edo.cjis.gov.
  6. If you decide to challenge the accuracy or completeness of your FBI criminal history record, you should send your challenge to the agency that contributed the questioned information to the FBI. Alternatively, you may send your challenge directly to the FBI by submitting a request via https://www.edo.cjis.gov. The FBI will then forward your challenge to the agency that contributed the questioned information and request the agency to verify or correct the challenged entry. Upon receipt of an official communication from that agency, the FBI will make any necessary changes/corrections to your record in accordance with the information supplied by that agency. (See 28 CFR 16.30 through 16.34.)
  7. You have the right to expect that officials receiving the results of the criminal history record check will use it only for authorized purposes and will not retain or disseminate it in violation of federal statute, regulation or executive order, or rule, procedure or standard established by the National Crime Prevention and Privacy Compact Council.
