New CJIS/Licensing Division Fingerprint Procedures

Effective 1/1/2010. ALL fingerprints must be submitted electronically. This can be accomplished at several LiveScan sites throughout the State.
Find Locations and Procedures

The Licensing Division will no longer accept fingerprint related fees. An authorization code, pertaining to the purpose of the prints, will be available at each LiveScan location.

YOU MUST SUBMIT YOUR APPLICAT10N TO THE LICENSING DIVISION WITHIN 72 HOURS OF BEING ELECTRONICALLY FINGERPRINTED.

Attach the fingerprint receipt to your application. Keep a copy of the receipt with your copy of the application. It is also suggested that you request the location to print out the fingerprints for you to keep in case there is an issue of rejection at a later date.

*Those applicants that live in a state that does not border Maryland may continue to submit fingerprint cards. All other fingerprint cards will be rejected.

Note the online registration form may not be available right away. Please check and if experiencing difficulty, contact the LiveScan location you have selected.

We have been told the cost at state facilities will be $55.25. Private LiveScan locations may be slightly more or less.

This change is a CJIS policy and the Licensing Division must comply.
