Poor
fingerprint detail may be caused by age, trade, or some other
environmental/physical condition. In the
case of a fingerprint rejection by the FBI, applicants are requested by the FBI
to submit a second set of fingerprints, at no charge to the applicant. This second submission must occur before
alternative means of conducting a federal background can be initiated. If an applicant receives an FBI rejection letter they must submit a second set of
fingerprints if they wish to complete their applicant background check. Individuals should take their rejection
letter and proper identification to the nearest Pennsylvania Fingerprint
location. A second fingerprint submittal
will be conducted at no charge.
Individuals do not need to re-register for their second
fingerprinting session if they received an FBI rejection letter. If an individuals fingerprints are rejected a
second time by the FBI, notification is forwarded to ChildLine
by the FBI. ChildLine
will then conduct a name based check based on the demographic information on
the initial application. Results of the
FBI name based record check are also forwarded by the FBI to ChildLine for interpretation.
