If an applicant's fingerprints are unclear and unusable, what must they do?

In situations where an applicant's fingerprints are unclear and deemed unusable, the correct action is to resubmit fingerprints during the next renewal period. Fingerprints are a crucial part of the background check process, ensuring that the individual does not have any disqualifying criminal history. If the initial submission is not clear, not waiting for further instructions or submitting a different form is necessary because the fingerprint requirement remains in place and is pivotal for background verification. While an additional fee might be plausible in some cases, the standard procedure typically involves resubmission at the next renewal rather than requiring payment for a process that was already initiated. Therefore, it's essential to ensure that the resubmission is done when the applicant is eligible to renew, aligning with the fidelity of ensuring all applicants are properly vetted.
