ID Verification Meeting by Video Conference Call.
We are required by the State to verify your identity before we can start your background check application in the State's system. We do that by online video conference call over Google Meet so we can see you holding your ID. On this form, you can enter up to 3 different preferred appointment dates and times. Appointments are scheduled during our regular office hours, Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm.
After we receive your information on this form
and copies of your ID, we will send you an email to confirm your appointment and provide a link for your Google Meet video conference appointment.
We will set up the Google Meet for you - you DO NOT need to do this yourself. The confirmation email we send will include any additional information and instructions you will need for the video conference call. For information about using Google Meet on a computer, or on a phone or tablet, see our How to Attend a Meeting with Google Meet information sheet.
Fingerprints
Fingerprints are sometimes required by the State for background check applications. If you need to provide fingerprints, we will send you a notice by email with detailed instructions to have fingerprints taken.
