Utah Electronic Fingerprints

Applicant's fingerprints are used for a file search through the Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification (BCI) and the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) (these services are available at no charge). Candidates must submit their fingerprints to apply for a license with the Division of Professional and Occupational Licensing (DOPL).

Instructions to get the fingerprints

1. Book the appointment online
2. Go to the DOPL office location:
   160 E 300 S Salt Lake City

4. Bring a valid government-issued ID (Passport, State ID, US driver's license, or US Military ID)
5. Before submitting the fingerprints and application form, read and acknowledge the Privacy Act Statement

Note: If you do not have an application on file with the Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing, be prepared to submit your application when you arrive for your appointment.

Utah Fingerprint Cards

If the candidate cannot submit the fingerprints to the DOPL office, the applicant must fill out two (FD-258) forms. This document is issued by the ATF Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. The fingerprint cards must be sent with the application form for the corresponding license.
