What does a fingerprint record check cost?
Here are the basic fees: • The background check processing fee is $46.25 for all fingerprint background checks conducted electronically through the Washington State Patrol (WSP) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). This will include school district employees, educational service district (ESD) employees, contractual employees, private school employees, and certification applicants. • You may have your fingerprints processed manually for $56.25 by the WSP Criminal Records Division located at 3000 Pacific Avenue, Olympia, WA 98504; but you must first pay the background check processing fee to OSPI and obtain an Electronic Applicant Submission form. Having your fingerprints processed manually ensures the WSP will not reject your fingerprints due to poor print quality. Important Reminders: • Individuals should contact the agency providing the fingerprinting service to inquire about additional fees they may charge. • OSPI does not accept cash, credit or debit cards.
