Fingerprint Notice

Arizona Revised Statute 15-534 requires that "A person who is certified...shall maintain a valid fingerprint clearance card during the valid period of the person's certificate..." Fingerprint Clearance Cards are only valid for six years. We cannot permit certified employees who allow their card to lapse into the classroom, which affects pay.

Human Resources Department is no longer rolling fingerprints for District employees. All fingerprint clearance card renewals are now completed online at Fingerprint Clearance Card | Department of Public Safety (azdps.gov). Please have your fingerprint clearance card number and credit card information available when you apply online. It can take weeks to renew your card, so it is extremely important to take care of your renewal well in advance of the expiration date.

Any new employee needing fingerprints to be rolled will need to go to an Arizona Department of Public Safety location or County Sheriff's Office. 

If you have questions regarding your current fingerprint clearance card, please contact Regina Daniels by phone at (928) 697-2027.

Human Resources Department does not roll fingerprints for the general public.
