Fingerprints
Prior to submission of an application to the Colorado Department of Education each applicant shall submit to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) a complete set of fingerprints . . . taken by a qualified law enforcement agency . . . for the purpose of obtaining a finger-print based criminal history check.
Effective 1/25/2010 the process for submission of a set of fingerprints requires that the applicant:
-
Use a fingerprint card provided by a local Law Enforcement Agency (CDE no longer provides cards)
-
Complete the fingerprint card with the assistance of a qualified Law Enforcement Agency
-
Submit the completed fingerprint card, with processing fee, to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation
Colorado educators who are currently licensed have completed the required submission of fingerprints. In some cases an educator who held a license prior to 1991 will not have fingerprints on file. Under current law these educators will be required to complete the fingerprint requirement when submitting an application.
