Fingerprint Procedure

The Department does not accept digital fingerprints (i.e., Fieldprint), which are submitted electronically to BCI and FBI. We require hard-copy fingerprint cards.

 

Anyone applying to become a North Dakota resident insurance producer must undergo a criminal background check, which includes fingerprinting. This requirement does not apply to individuals renewing their license, individuals who apply for a license within 12 months after their license was canceled or expired, unless the license was suspended or revoked, or individual resident producers who are adding a line of authority to an existing license. All resident applicants applying for their initial resident insurance producer license must provide a set of fingerprints to the North Dakota Insurance & Securities Department for the purpose of conducting a state and national fingerprint-based criminal history records check. While fingerprinting can be done at PSI Test Centers, fingerprinting can also be done at other locations. 

If you are printing at a PSI location:

  • Applicants may be fingerprinted at one of the PSI test centers during regular testing hours on the day of examination. A fingerprinting processing fee of $29.00 is due to PSI, which can be paid by credit card, check, or money order.
  • Applicants must provide PSI with a check or money order in the amount of $43 payable to the North Dakota Attorney General. Credit cards are not accepted.
  • Upon completion of the fingerprinting, PSI will mail the signed consent form, fingerprint card, and North Dakota Attorney General payment ($43) directly to the North Dakota Insurance & Securities Department.
  • STARTING OCTOBER 1, 2026 THE NEW FINGERPRINT FEE IS $43.00

 

If you are self-submitting your prints:

  1. If the fingerprinting service conducting the fingerprints does ink prints, two fingerprint cards must be done. If the fingerprints are obtained by scanning, only one set of fingerprints is required, so only one card is needed. The fingerprint cards must be sealed in an envelope and initialed by the individual conducting the fingerprints.
  2. The applicant must include a check (no starter or counter checks), cashier’s check, or money order in the amount of $43, made payable to the North Dakota Attorney General. DO NOT SEND CASH.
  3. The Applicant must MAIL the following items in a second large envelope to the address below:
    1. The fingerprint card(s) sealed and initialed by the fingerprint technician (please do not bend the cards);
    2. the completed Criminal History Record Check Request Consent form, and
    3. the $43 fee made payable to the North Dakota Attorney General.
    4. STARTING OCTOBER 1, 2026 THE NEW FINGERPRINT FEE IS $43.00
