This is for anyone who has not completed fingerprints before - if you are unsure as to whether or not you have fingerprints on file with the district please email Jenn Sassi at
jennifer.sassi@eagleschools.net
This is something you only need to do one time at ECCA or any district school.
This company Colorado Fingerprinting does not need a coupon code, yay!
Please make sure to fill out the online application.
**Before anyone can participate in any field experience, practicum, internship, employment, or other placement, they must pass a background check. The Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have both contracted with two third-party vendor, IdentoGO® and Colorado Fingerprinting, to take fingerprints. This electronic process is far faster than the old fingerprint card method. NO REIMBURSEMENTS WILL BE ISSUED.

* The ECSD CBI unique code is 1417ETNI
* The Billing Code: 1417ECSDNonLic
* Locate an Enrollment Center convenient for you.
* You will be prompted to complete the pre-enrollment process by entering CBI and FBI information required for your specific background check.
* During your 10-minute appointment at the Colorado Fingerprinting Enrollment Center, a technician will quickly and accurately complete the process by performing ID verification, fingerprint capture, photo capture, and signature image capture in compliance with CBI and FBI requirements.
* Payment is collected from the applicant via credit/debit card, if you do not use the billing code provided the fee is $39.50 for the CBI/FBI check in addition to a $10 vendor fee.
* Results are returned to ECSD within 3/5 business days.
* In the rare event that your prints are rejected for print quality (less than 1%), you will automatically be notified via your preferred method of contact (email or phone) with automated links to reschedule an appointment at no charge.
* ECSD is unable to provide fingerprint results.
