Fingerprinting Instructions

Office of Refugee Resettlement

What are the steps I need to take to get fingerprinted?

1. Read the Authorization for Release of Information carefully and complete the form.

2. Fax or email the Case Manager the completed Authorization for Release of Information and a copy of your photo ID. If you are unable to fax or email the documents, please send them by express or priority mail as soon as possible.

3. After submitting the Authorization for Release of Information the Case Manager arranges a fingerprinting session for you, or will give you the contact information of the designated ORR Digital Fingerprinting Site to arrange your own appointment. If you are unable to travel to the designated ORR Digital Fingerprinting Site, you must discuss with your Case Manager the option to provide two sets of paper fingerprint cards.

4. Attend your fingerprinting session at the scheduled time at the designated ORR Digital Fingerprint Site. Please note that ORR DOES NOT offer fingerprinting services at ORR’s Headquarters. Fingerprinting services are available at designated ORR Digital Fingerprint Sites only.

5. Contact the Case Manager after you attend your fingerprinting session to let him or her know you have been fingerprinted. The Case Manager may have further instructions for you to follow to complete other aspects of your background check.

How do I review the results of my fingerprint background checks?

You may review the results of their FBI fingerprint background checks by sending a request to the child’s Case Manager. You may also contact the ORR National Call Center for assistance at (800)203-7001 or email at [email protected].

If the results of my fingerprint background check are wrong can I contest the findings?

Yes. If a sponsor, adult household member, or adult care giver identified in a sponsor care plan, believes the FBI criminal background check results are incorrect, he or she may challenge the accuracy or completeness of the information. The sponsor or adult household member may contact the agency that contributed the information the subject of the background check believes is incorrect. Additional details about obtaining a change, correction, or update of an FBI identification record are set forth in the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations at 28 CFR § 16.34.
