Criminal History and Background Checks

On March 15, 2008 the NJ State Police (NJSP) changed the fingerprinting procedure for employment background checks, personal criminal history background requests, volunteer review operation, and volunteer care providers.

NJSP is no longer accepting paper fingerprint submissions for those purposes. They now require those fingerprint submissions to be done electronically on the Live Scan machine through the state contract vendor Sagem Morpho, Inc.

The necessary forms and instructions for making an appointment for fingerprinting are on the NJSP website at: http://www.njsp.org/about/serv_chrc.html
