How long will it take for me to get a fingerprint clearance card after the Board approves my good cause exception application?
If the Board approves your application, it sends a letter to the Department of Public Safety (DPS), which issues the cards and where you originally applied for a fingerprint clearance card. This letter will request that DPS issue a fingerprint clearance card. In general, once it receives the Board’s letter, DPS will issue the card within seven to ten working days.
