What occurs if an applicant's criminal records check shows no electronic fingerprints on file?

If an applicant's criminal records check shows no electronic fingerprints on file, the process allows for a sixty-day extension for the applicant to submit the required fingerprints. This extension provides individuals with an opportunity to ensure their application can move forward without the immediate risk of denial due to missing fingerprint records. It reflects a procedural accommodation that acknowledges potential issues in fingerprint processing while still emphasizing the importance of completing the background check process. By granting this extension, the system is designed to be fair and allow applicants to complete their requirements without being penalized prematurely. This approach facilitates compliance and ensures that those who may encounter difficulties with the electronic system still have a chance to succeed in their applications.
