I have been fingerprinted before. Do I need to get fingerprinted again to get my teaching certificate?

I need my fingerprints to become an emergency substitute. In college I got fingerprinted because I was in the education dept to become a teacher (that was before I changed my mind about my degree). Can I request my fingerprints or do I need to get reprinted?

It depends

fingerprints are best stored in a database shared by numerous agencies–especially law-enforcement agencies…

if the teaching-certificate awarding institution does not belong to the larger database, then you will need to be fingerprinted–again–for that certification

Maybe. Ask the school system that you will be working for.

I had to get a criminal background check with my local police department and the FBI, including fingerprinting just to student teach. When I graduated 7 months later and was hired by the school district that I student taught in, I had to do everything again. I was told that they were checking to see if anything had changed during those 7 months.

You will have to get fingerprinted again. I had to get fingerprinted when I decided to major in education, when I worked for mini corps, when I was hired as a bilingual aid, when I applied for the multiple subject credential, when i signed up for subbing, and just the other day for my new job. It doesn’t take long. The sooner you set up your appointment the better.

Yes. I had several government clearnaces in defense and other sectors, along with clearances for child abuse and such. Everytime they will fingerprint regardless of past clearances. If you have other fingerprints, they will compare the new ones to the old ones too. I think its better that way anyways, it guarantees you are who you say you are.

Most school districts will conduct a separate background check. You’ll find they are pretty rigid about that process. It usually costs between $10 and $20 and is part of the application process. Just go along with it. Requesting to transfer prints might make them unduly suspicious of you.

welcome to teaching. You will find that most big buracracies have departments who do not talk to each other. (you’ll find this in your school too). We teachers have to do multiple silliness often. its just part of the system. Wait till you have to do grades!

yes, you will have to do so again.
