FieldPrint Fingerprinting Process / National Criminal Background Screening

NA-1 and MA students are required to be fingerprinted as set by the OSBN regulations for board certification testing. The State of Oregon has contracted with Fieldprint to handle fingerprint collection services. It has the largest network of Livescan collection site throughout the country.

• Students are required to submit their OSBN License Application and processing fees, and a copy of their Certificate of Completion from Caregiver Training Institute to the OSBN for board testing before getting their fingerprint-based criminal background check.
• All Fingerprint information and codes are now found in the OSBN License Application for testing directions on page 1.
• The link and codes contained in the OSBN License Application to the Fieldprint website are unique to your application and cannot be used by any other applicant.
• When on the Fieldprint’s website, click “Schedule an Appointment,” and you will be prompted to create a secure user account. Enter your email address under “New Users/Sign Up” and click the “Sign Up” button. Follow the instructions for creating a Password and Security Question and then click “Sign Up and Continue.” You will be prompted to enter all demographic information required by the State of Oregon. 
• Once this step is complete, you will be able to search for a fingerprinting location and schedule an appointment at a date and time most convenient for you. Pay the $70.50 background check fee via Fieldprint’s website. At the end of the process, print the Confirmation Page. Take the Confirmation Page with you to your fingerprint appointment, along with two forms of identification. Applicants must have an appointment; all walk-ins will be turned away. 
• If you have any questions or problems, you may contact Fieldprint’s customer service team at (877) 614-4364 or on their website.
