Carefully follow the instructions provided below in the order displayed.
If you are unable to complete these steps at this time (e.g. if you do not have access
to a printer at your computer), you MUST return to e-QIP at a later time to complete the
remaining steps.
Contact your agency if you need assistance with printing these documents.

After you certified the completeness and accuracy of the information in your Investigation
Request, e-QIP generated a printable archival copy of the information you provided. You
are strongly advised to print a copy for your records. Properly dispose of any working
copies that you may have printed while editing and reviewing your information, as those
are not considered official. You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader or Adobe Acrobat to view
the archival copy. Click the "Help" link for more information.

Step One
Click this link to display the archival copy, then print a copy to retain for your records.

Display the Archival Copy of this Investigation Request for Printing
Next you must print a copy of the signature form(s). The requesting agency must receive
the signed form(s) to begin processing your Investigation Request. Print, sign, and submit
the form(s) according to the instructions you have been provided. Print to only one side of
each sheet of paper. Ensure that the text on the printed copy is legible and that all pages
print. The printed text may not contain gaps, extraneous lines, or other errors caused by
printer problems. Click the "Help" link for more information.

Step Two
Click this link to display the signature form(s), then print a copy, sign, and submit the form(s) to the
office requesting your investigation.

NOT COMPLETING THESE TASKS WILL DELAY PROCESSING OF YOUR INVESTIGATION
REQUEST. Carefully follow the instructions provided. If you are unable to complete any of the steps at this
time (e.g. if you do not have access to a printer at your computer), click "Logout" to end this session. You may
return to e-QIP at a later time to complete the remaining steps.

Printing the Archival Copy
After you certified the completeness and accuracy of the information in your Investigation Request, e-QIP
generated a printable archival copy of the information you provided. You are strongly advised to print a copy
for your records. Properly dispose of any working copies that you may have printed while editing and reviewing
your information, as those are not considered official. You will need Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat, version
4.0 or greater, to view the archival copy and a printer to print it.
First, check to see if you already have version 4.0 or greater installed on your computer. One way to check is to
click on the "Display the Archival Copy of this Investigation Request for Printing" link. Your web browser will
attempt to download and open the document using Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader if it is installed. If the
archival copy does not appear and your web browser displays "garbled" text or if your web browser displays a
window asking if you want to save the file, then you probably do not have the required software installed. Go to
the Adobe Reader download site for more information about downloading and installing the application.

Once you have your computer configured to correctly display the archival copy of your Investigation Request,
use the "Print" feature (located under the "File" menu) to print a copy for your records. Print the document on
8.5" x 11" Letter paper. A color printer is not required. Ensure that your printer prints the entire document.
Refer to the page numbers printed on the document to verify this. Ensure that the text on all pages is readable,
as this document will become part of your personal records.
If you still need assistance with printing, contact the office that initiated your Investigation Request.

Printing the Signature Forms
Next you must print the signature forms associated with your Investigation Request. Following the same
procedures as you did for printing the archival copy, display and print the signature forms. Print to only one side
of each paper sheet. You must submit these forms to the office that initiated your Investigation Request. Follow
the instructions provided to you by that office.

Releasing Your Investigation Request for Processing
When you have completed the steps listed above, you may release your Investigation Request for processing.
Performing this step will electronically transmit your Investigation Request to the agency requesting your
investigation, and you will no longer have online access to it for printing or review.
