Welcome to the Board of Fingerprinting Web Site

The Arizona Board of Fingerprinting is a state agency that hears appeals from individuals whose fingerprint clearance card has been denied or suspended by the Arizona Department of Public Safety. People who work with vulnerable populations—children, the elderly, or persons with developmental disabilities—normally need a card to work.

This web site is for anyone interested in what the Board does, the appeal process, or the fingerprint clearance card system. It focuses on the needs of individuals who are going through the appeal process.
