HELP! Fingerprint/Morphotrust - NCLEX TX

Published

Hi! I apologize ahead if this topic is already posted but I have a few questions regarding the fingerprinting/morphotrust/identogo thing. I am trying to mail in my application to TX BON and I would like to know what are the initial requirements that has to be mailed to them.

I was informed that I need to mail in the ff:

  • Application Form
  • Fee of $125
  • Fingerprint Card

What I am confused about is what kind of fingerprint card do I mail in? Should I used the one I requested from the TX BON? Do I just go to any fingerprint center to have it done or use this so called IDENTOGO and mail it to morphotrust?

I am really confused... I am stuck... HELP PLS? And thanks in advance!

The details are clearly explained on the TXBoN website including what you need to do whether you live in or outside Texas

So technically, I use the identogo website already? Thanks

What I'm confused about is... Do I mail in my application form and the fee first?

I have here my fingerprint card from the BON, it's still blank. I haven't gone to get my fingerprints. I followed the steps on the IDENTOGO.COM but I figured that you need to have a pending application in the BON to be able to register your card.

So how do I go about?

Usually you file the application and start the background check concurrently

Yeah, I understand that but the thing is I don't know how to go about as identogo.com won't allow me to register my fingerprint card. I'll be calling them now. :) Thank you.

Then apply to TX BoN first.

Hi just an update. :D I called the TX BON and they said that all I need to mail in is my application and the check of $125 then they will be the one to inform me on what the next steps will be. I was just confused at first because I was informed previously that I needed to mail in the fingerprint cards along with my application.

Thank you!

Hi thank you! It would be awesome if you could inform me on where to get my fingerprints? I am in California applying for Texas. :)

Thank you! Is it okay if I go on ahead to get it done even if my application with BON is still in process? I have the card already. I just wanna be ready so when the BON tells me to do so they're ready.

I would recommend getting it done ASAP. Once I sent my cards to identogo it took several weeks for them to process them and send to the BON. Once they finally received them it took the BON a couple of weeks to process them. I think the whole process start to finish took 2-3 months ?
