Many Connecticut background checks require you to complete the state’s Pre-Enrollment process before you are fingerprinted.
The organization requesting your background check will provide you with a Service Code. After you complete the online Pre-Enrollment process, you will receive a barcode and Applicant Tracking Number.
Bring your printed barcode with you when you come to Goldeneye.
If you cannot print it, you may email the barcode to [email protected] before your visit, and our staff can print it for you.
If you are being fingerprinted for an out-of-state purpose, such as another state’s professional license, you usually will not need a Connecticut Pre-Enrollment barcode.
In most cases, fingerprints from a previous background check cannot simply be reused for a new application.
Your fingerprints may not change, but the reason for the background check can change. Fingerprint submissions are connected to a specific employer, licensing agency, government agency, or other organization requesting the background check.
For Connecticut electronic background checks, the requesting organization provides a specific Service Code. That code tells the state why the background check is being requested and helps direct the results to the correct organization.
For example, fingerprints submitted for one employer or professional license may not satisfy the requirements for:
Even if you were fingerprinted recently, the new requesting organization may be required to have a new fingerprint-based background check completed under its own authority and Service Code.
If you are unsure whether you need to be fingerprinted again, contact the organization requesting your new background check. They can tell you whether a new fingerprint submission is required.
Usually, no.
Background check results are normally sent to the specific employer, licensing agency, government agency, or other organization that requested them.
Goldeneye does not receive or control the final background check results, and we generally cannot transfer results from one organization to another.
A new employer or agency may be required to request its own background check under its own legal authority and Service Code.
For example, a background check completed for:
They may not be accepted for a different employer or purpose.
If you believe your previous background check may still be accepted, contact the new requesting organization before getting fingerprinted again. They can tell you whether a new submission is required.
A new fingerprint appointment is not simply a copy of your previous visit.
Each new fingerprint submission may require:
The fees you paid previously were connected to that earlier fingerprinting service and background check.
If a new employer, licensing agency, or other organization requires a new fingerprint submission, a new fingerprinting fee may apply.
If you are unsure whether you need to be fingerprinted again, contact the organization requesting the background check before scheduling your visit.
No. Goldeneye does not have access to Service Codes.
The Service Code must come from the requesting entity, which is the organization requiring you to complete the background check.
Examples of requesting entities may include:
If you do not have a Service Code or are unsure which code to use, contact the organization that told you to get fingerprinted.
Goldeneye should not select a Service Code for you because the requesting entity determines the correct code for your specific background check.
Yes.
Goldeneye Training Academy provides electronic fingerprinting for eligible Connecticut background checks.
Our LiveScan fingerprinting system allows us to capture your fingerprints digitally and submit eligible Connecticut fingerprints electronically through the Connecticut Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection and the Connecticut Criminal History Request System, also known as CCHRS.
If your background check requires Connecticut electronic submission, make sure you complete Pre-Enrollment and bring your barcode with you.
Yes.
Goldeneye can fingerprint customers using traditional fingerprint cards, including the standard FD-258 fingerprint card.
We keep blank FD-258 cards available. You may also bring a fingerprint card supplied by your employer, licensing agency, another state, or another organization.
If another agency gave you specific fingerprinting instructions or paperwork, please bring everything with you so our technician can follow the agency’s requirements.
Our standard fingerprinting price includes one barcode submission OR up to two fingerprint cards.
Additional fees apply if you need more than two fingerprint cards, additional barcode submissions, or additional fingerprinting services.
Fingerprinting appointments are scheduled in one-hour time blocks.
Your one-hour block is the time period during which you should arrive. It does not mean that the fingerprinting process itself will take one hour.
The amount of time you spend at Goldeneye can vary depending on:
Customers with appointments receive priority over walk-ins.
Arriving prepared with your identification, barcode, and paperwork will help the process move more quickly.
Good fingerprint quality starts before your visit.
If your hands are dry, cracked, or peeling, begin moisturizing your hands and fingertips 3–5 days before your appointment, if possible.
This is especially helpful for people who frequently wash their hands or use alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
On the day of your visit:
Tell your technician if you have cuts, burns, bandages, cracked skin, recent injuries, heavy calluses, or worn fingertips.
During fingerprinting, relax your hands and allow the technician to position and roll your fingers. Trying to roll your own fingers can make it harder to capture a clear fingerprint.
Although we work carefully to capture high-quality fingerprints, a receiving agency may sometimes reject fingerprints because they were unable to obtain enough clear fingerprint detail.
Fingerprint quality can be affected by several things, including dry or damaged skin, scars, injuries, worn fingertips, or problems during the fingerprinting process.
If your fingerprints are rejected because of an issue with the fingerprinting completed by a Goldeneye technician, Goldeneye will redo your fingerprints at no additional charge.
Please contact Goldeneye after receiving the rejection notice so our staff can review the situation and arrange the appropriate reprint.
A rejection does not always mean there was a problem with the fingerprint technician. Some rejections or application problems may be caused by the requesting agency, incorrect application information, an incorrect Service Code, government processing requirements, or other issues outside Goldeneye’s control.
