Digital Fingerprints and Background Checks
Individual applicants are required to submit fingerprints from an approved fingerprint vendor for a criminal history background check. This will require applicants to submit two documents:
- Fingerprint Background Waiver - this waiver authorizes the Division to access the applicant's criminal history from the Federal Bureau of Investigations, the State of Nevada and outlines the rights retained by the applicant.
- Fingerprint confirmation receipt - this is the confirmation document given by the fingerprint vendor and includes a TCN number, which allows the Division to track the fingerprints during the background process.
Both these documents can be submitted through Sircon or NIPR after submitting the license application.
To expedite the application process, the Division encourages candidates to get their digital fingerprints within 90 days of submitting the application.
