Signed Up For Renewal. Questions
Posted: Thu Jun 22, 2017 12:49 pm
Went online yesterday, paid fee, filled out forms, uploaded NRA certificate, etc. Received a message that DPS would try to use my previous set of fingerprints and let me know if I need to get new ones made.
Question 1. Since prints are now being made and stored electronically, if the prints were good last time, why wouldn't they be good this time?
Question 2. How long is it taking most of you to receive word back as to whether your old prints are good or not?
Related but slightly different question.
When I explain the licensing process to prospective students, a lot of people tell me that they already have prints on file as a lawyer, teacher, etc. and that they shouldn't need new prints. I always answer that I have been told for a long time that the state is working on a system which will allow different departments, agencies, etc. to communicate in the sharing of prints, but I don't think it's in place yet. What is the status of allowing a person who has been fingerprinted once for one reason to use those same prints for LTC purposes?
Thanks in advance.
