If you become sick, please reschedule your appointment. If you show symptoms of illness during your appointment, you may asked to leave.

Fingerprint cards

If an applicant resides out of state or cannot go to a live scan location, OBP may accept fingerprint cards on a case by case basis. OBP will only accept fingerprint cards if you have received approval prior to sending the fingerprint card.

To request approval to send in a fingerprint card, the individual's background check form must be submitted, paid for, and the disclosure form completed by the applicant. An email will then need to be sent to OBP at dhhsfingerprints@utah.gov with the applicant's name, background check number, and reason why a fingerprint card will be used.

There is a $12 fingerprint card processing fee. This fee may be paid online or by mailing a check or money order along with the fingerprint cards.
