If an employee has been fingerprinted in the State of New Jersey for another purpose, is the employee required to go through the process again?
Yes, since the regulations concerning dissemination of criminal history information prohibit it's use outside the intended purpose. Federal and State security and privacy regulations dictate that dissemination of this information may only be for the purpose expressed in the form field identified as "Reason Fingerprinted."

How do I begin the process?
The first step is to access our website and download the current version of the Universal Form (Version 3.0). Following completion of the proper universal form, contact Sagem Morpho to schedule an appointment. We strongly suggest that you use their website at www.bioapplicant.com/nj. Don't forget to have your credit card, bank check, or money order ready when scheduling the appointment.



What do I bring to the scanning center?
Scanning centers are located throughout the State. You may identify the most convenient location by accessing Sagem Morpho's web site.

1. You must bring to the scanning center photo identification issued by a Federal, State, County, or Municipal entity for identification purposes. It must include your name, address (home/employer) and date of birth. Examples of acceptable identification include a photo driver's license or photo identification card issued by any State DMV, passport or immigration ID, Federal State, County, or Municipal Employment ID.
2. A properly completed Universal Form.
3. The bank check or money order identified during the scheduling process, if you did not opt to pay by credit card.

Who needs to schedule a fingerprint scan for criminal history purposes?
