CHILD CARE CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECKS

Criminal background checks are required for staff working in child care and family child care settings. This process begins on the Department’s Child Care Civil Background Check System and includes a fingerprint-based criminal history check.

On Monday, May 8, 2023, fingerprinting for Child Care Criminal Background Check System will transition from Gemalto to IDEMIA.  ** 

The new fingerprinting vendor, IDEMIA, offers “No Charge Authorization Codes” (NCACs), also referred to as coupon codes. This service will allow providers to establish an account that is backed by a major credit card (currently VISA, MasterCard, Discover and AMEX). An authorization form must be completed by providers interested in creating a No Charge Authorization Codes account.

Complete the No Charge Authorization Code (NCAC) REORDER authorization form.
