Slow Downs

Third-Party Document Delays ▾
Waiting for transcripts, Praxis scores, or license verifications to be mailed or emailed directly from other agencies is the most common cause of delay.
Incorrect IdentoGO Service Code ▾
Using the wrong service code for fingerprinting will result in the background check being rejected, requiring a new appointment and fee.
Incomplete License History ▾
Failure to provide verifications from every state where a license was ever held, even if expired, will stall the application.
