Background Check/Fingerprinting

*NOTE: Our office will email you letting you know when you need to be fingerprinted. You are responsible to call our office to schedule an appointment.

Idaho fingerprints are valid for 3 years. ALL education majors must be fingerprinted for the State of Idaho before entering public schools.

  • When student teaching in another state, you must have valid Idaho fingerprints in addition to the fingerprints required by that state.
  • Fingerprinting is completed in the Student Teaching Services Office located in Hinckley 325. Fingerprinting office hours are Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–4:30 p.m. Call (208) 496-4140 or email us at studentteaching@byui.edu to schedule your appointment.
  • Bring your government-issued ID. This could be your driver’s license, state-issued photo ID, passport, or military ID with photo.
  • You do not need to bring your Social Security Card with you, but you do need to know your Social Security Number.

*If you are student teaching in Utah you will be asked to complete a second set of fingerprints. This will occur after you have applied and have been assigned.
