One of the prerequisites to complete the client’s application to a particular board of nursing is to accomplish the FBI cards for fingerprinting and criminal background checking purposes. Fingerprinting cards are printed documents that are often made to record a person’s fingerprints.
Most Boards of Nursing, or BON, in the United States require a criminal background check (CBCs) during their NCLEX exam application. However, some do not require it, but applicants still need to disclose any information about previous illegal activities.
Many states without fingerprint-based CBCs have attempted multiple times to establish this requirement. However, they failed to pass the bill for a variety of reasons. Nevertheless, states will keep working to secure this authority.
The candidates must have FBI cards on hand before proceeding with the criminal background check. They can request the FBI cards at IPASS Processing. There are two (2) methods of conducting fingerprints: ink and paper procedure and electronic scanning.
The ink and paper procedure is rolling the candidate’s fingers in ink and correctly printing them on fingerprint cards. There is a high risk of error when using this method, and it’s more likely to be rejected.
Electronic methods of fingerprinting include Livescan and Cardscan. According to the FBI, electronic scanning, also known as Automated Fingerprint Identification Systems (AFIS), allows fingerprint photos to be scanned and communicated immediately to local law enforcement agencies.
Further instructions will be provided to the candidate when completing the FBI cards.
