Fingerprinting Services
Fingerprinting at the
ESCLC
Fingerprinting services are provided at our Center by
appointment only and individuals may schedule an appointment at our
center by calling 440-324-5777. Any of the secretaries
answering the phone will be happy to assist you in making your
appointment. Our fingerprinting is done electronically and
transmitted directly to the BCI (Ohio check) and the FBI (Federal
check). The results can be automatically transmitted to the Ohio
Department of Education, when applicable. On occasion, an
electronic image cannot be successfully captured. If this
happens, we are trained to use the inking method and mail the card
to the bureau.
ITEMS NEEDED AT THE APPOINTMENT:
Completed Release Form (available at your district’s Board of
Education or at our
center).
Driver’s License or State ID Card
Check or Money Order made payable to ESCLC

On-site
Fingerprinting at Your Location
The Superintendent’s Office must call Pam Gamble at
440-324-5777, ext. 1113 to schedule an on-site session. In order to
provide this service, our ESC fingerprinting personnel must work
very closely with your district. There are a few critical elements
that will need to be arranged for this event to be successful. We
will need your assistance in connecting our laptop computer to your
school district’s network. WE MUST HAVE INTERNET ACCESS. Therefore,
it will be imperative to have your district IT person meet our
fingerprinting personnel upon arrival. We will need a table or desk
that is located near an electrical outlet to set up our equipment.
We will also need a district contact person to schedule the
appointments for your staff. The actual fingerprinting process goes
very quickly (approx. 5 to 10 minutes per person), This, however,
requires a little foresight and preparation. Each person will need
the following completed and available upon arriving for their
fingerprinting appointment:
Completed Release Form (forms will be provided to the school
district prior to your session).
Driver’s License or State ID Card
Check or Money Order made payable to ESCLC

The ESCLC will invoice the school district after the session has occurred.
PARTICIPANT COST:
