Q: Who is required to have a level one fingerprint clearance card?
A: On July 1, 2009, the department began issuing two types of fingerprint clearance cards. This change was mandated by a change in state law. The cards are called the Level One card and the Regular card. Section 411758.07 was enacted which placed a higher eligibility standard to receive a Level One card than what is needed for a Regular card. Both cards are valid for six years and fees have not changed. The following programs require a Level One fingerprint clearance card: - DES ADOPTION 8-105
- DES FOSTER HOME LICENSURE 8-509
- DES CPS WORKER 8-802
- DES DDD WORKERS 36-594.01
- DES DEVELOPMENTAL HOME LICENSURE 36-594.02
- DES DAY CARE HOME PROVIDERS 41-1964
- DES CHILD CARE HOME PROVIDERS 41-1967.01
- DES CONTRACTORS 46-141
- DES EMPLOYEES NON-CPS 41-1968
- DES IT EMPLOYEES 41-1969
- DHS CHILD CARE FACILITY LICENSEES 36-882
- DHS CHILD CARE WORKERS 36-883.02
- DHS CHLD CARE GROUP HOME LICENSEES 36-897.01
- DHS CHILD CARE GROUP HOME EMPLOYEES 36-897.03
- BOARD OF FINGERPRINTING MEMBERS AND STAFF 41-619.5
