Scheduling a Fingerprinting Appointment

Departments must create a secure folder to store the following:

Important: If fingerprinting is completed before receiving TA&O approval, the hiring department will be responsible for any additional screening costs incurred due to multiple requests for the same individual.

Before conducting a background screening on a minor (under 18), the hiring department must:

• Obtain a signed Background Screening Consent Form for Minors from both the minor and their parent/legal guardian.
• Securely retain all signed forms in compliance with Florida public record schedules.
