Need Criminal Background Check ASAP! Help!

[branda1218]

Hello,

I am currently trying to get accepted in Navarro College's LVN program. They require that i get a full background check, along with a full set of finger prints to send to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The thing is, when i went to my local police department, i was told that they didnt do finger prints so i can send them to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

So, i called the next town over, and they also said that they didnt do it either. So i called the Navarro College Health Professions department to see whats the deal because no one is going to do it for me. The secretary said that the police department does do it, its just they dont want to do it, they are just not going to do it.

I have to have this criminal background in order to be accepted by the college. What do i do? Im pulling my hair out because im so stressed out!

When I moved from California to Fort Worth, TX in 2005, I had to endorse my CA LVN license into Texas. I had to get fingerprinted for a FBI criminal background check in order to obtain licensure in Texas, so I got the fingerprints done at the Fort Worth Police Department at the downtown building on Belknap Street. They did it with no problems. I hope this helps.

They didn't make us do a background check until we were accepted into the program. But I did get mine done at the hospital here. Maybe you can check with your local hospital.

When I had my federal background check only our state police posts would do the fingerprinting. I'd call your SP & see what they say. Additionally your school really should have this information for you I'd do some asking around up there.

I just had my background check done yesterday and got the results today. I ordered mine online.

As far as fingerprinting, the police dept here does it but only at the service center.

check out local YMCA's or go online and look it up local businesses can get authorized to do the electronic checks..the cost varies that is why I suggested the Y if you can find one to do it there prices are usually the cheapest.

Another possibility are local education departments. They do it for prospective teachers and sometimes will take the public. The Dept of Justice of my state has a website that lists places where you can get this done and you can find a lot of storefront places by just looking in the yellow pages.

Try your local sherrifs department or the highway patrol. I also didn't have to have it done until I was accepted into the LVN program.
