Rule 31-2-9.5 - Procedure1. Applicant fingerprint checks may be submitted to the CIC in person, electronically, or by mail. If an individual appears at the Center to request an applicant record check, the receptionist will contact the appropriate records technician in the Special Processing Unit. The Technician will require the requestor to provide a signed Release form from the individual whose record is to be checked and the individual's fingerprint card. The Technician will inform the requestor that the record check will be processed within three (3) to six (6) weeks. A sample applicant fingerprint card is in Section 9.0.2.2. All written requests from authorized agencies (listed in the charts depicted throughout this section) must be submitted in writing on the agencies' letterhead. The fingerprint card for the individual whose record is to be checked must be included in the request. Response time will generally be three (3) to six (6) weeks for mailed requests.3. Electronically submitted fingerprint cards are generally processed within twenty-four (24) to thirty-six (36) hours unless the record is identified with a manual record at the FBI or matches a record submitted by an NFF (National Fingerprint File) maintained by a state. In those cases, a delayed turnaround time should be expected.4. The Technician reviews the card to ensure the fingerprints are legible and all required information is provided. If not, a Resolution Form is completed and returned to the requestor. A sample Resolution Form is provided in Section 9.0.3.
