New York State requires applicants for new teaching or pupil personnel certificates to be fingerprinted for a criminal history background check. In addition, anyone who will be a new employee in any New York State school district, BOCES, or charter school is required to satisfy the fingerprint investigation. If you have been fingerprinted by the New York City Department of Education, you may not need to be re-fingerprinted – see information available at http://www.highered.nysed.gov/tcert/ospra/index.html.

 

 

You may complete the fingerprinting process at any time during your teacher preparation program, but no later than 2 months before you graduate and expect to apply for certification. We recommend that you complete the fingerprint process as early in your program as possible, especially if you have ever been convicted of a crime. Applicants for certification may be barred from employment if the fingerprinting process is not initiated soon enough to qualify for the certificate before your new job begins.

 

 

The fingerprinting process may be completed online or by mail. The online process is highly recommended – it is more efficient and reliable, and provides online results much faster. The mail process is much slower and requires the completion of a paper NYSED fingerprint application.
