For Fingerprinting Services at OESD 114:

• Olympic ESD 114 offers fingerprinting services by appointment only using our online scheduling portal.
• Appointments are available between 8:30 AM and 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday, excluding holiday closures.
• You must provide a government-issued picture I.D. at your appointment.
• Full payment of $88.00* plus tax is due at the time of the appointment.  This can be done with a debit card, credit card or tap-to-pay.  NO CASH is accepted at this location.
• For a more successful fingerprint scan, begin moisturizing your fingertips at least twice daily in the days leading up to your appointment.
• Please come to your appointment having recently washed your hands with soap and water to eliminate particles and residue.  *Do not* apply lotion or hand sanitizer immediately before your appointment, as this will affect the ability of the Technician to get clear prints.

Olympic ESD 114 performs digital fingerprinting by utilizing live-scan technology.  The live-scan equipment allows the quality of prints to be checked on the equipment while they’re being taken, creating few necessary retakes and without the need for any fingerprints to be inked onto a card.  Prints taken through live-scan are generally cleared within one to three weeks.  Fingerprint transactions are directly submitted to the WA State Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI), who retains the records for two years and runs them through a background check via the Washington State Patrol and FBI.

Directions to our office can be found under Directions to OESD.  *Please be advised of ongoing construction next door and the resulting parking limitations. Look for our 15-minute parking spaces designated for fingerprinting appointments.
