What if I already completed fingerprint clearance for another district?
Electronic fingerprinting must be completed with CHRI, (Criminal History Record Information). This is a form used by a Noncriminal Justice Agency (NCJA) when the agency is requesting an applicant or individual to complete a state and federal fingerprint background check. It is the District's policy to have fingerprint clearance at the time of employment.
