Q: How do I get LiveScan fingerprinting completed?
A: Once connected with a school, there are requirements necessary to be on-campus. Every school is different, however the LiveScan is almost always a requirement by the state, DOJ, & FBI. The school will provide a form to take to the fingerprinting location. The school may have a specific location, however, generally you may google nearby LiveScan Fingerprinting Locations.
Q: Do I need to be fingerprinted for every school I teach at?
A: If your school is in a Catholic Diocese, you only need to be fingerprinted once. It applies for other schools in that county’s Diocese.
If your school is not in the Diocese, it will require individual LiveScans per school.
