New Vendor for Digital Fingerprinting and What It Means for You 

Note: This announcement is a reissue which reflects the correct phone number of 1-844-321-2101 to pre-register for fingerprinting. We apologize for any confusion. 

The Commonwealth has transitioned to a new vendor for digital fingerprinting. The new vendor, IDEMIA, is now accepting registrations and completing Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) fingerprinting for Pennsylvania agencies. 

You are required to pre-register before you go to your fingerprinting site. Once pre-registered, you may walk in during a location's posted hours of operation or you can schedule an appointment in advance. You do not have to schedule an appointment, however, scheduling an appointment may lead to lesser/no wait times.

2. Enter your zip code into the box labeled Find the nearest IdentoGO Center.
3. Select the location most convenient to you. (You will have a chance to change this later in the process).
4. Click Schedule an Appointment located in the blue box on the right-hand side of the page. An appointment is not required, but it is recommended.
