TDSHS Fingerprinting Process for Texas Certification Applicants

by

Attention EMS Personnel, EMS Providers and EMS Educators:

The DPS crime records service and DSHS has changed from the FAST fingerprint form to a new Texas Fingerprint Service Code Form for criminal background checks.

DSHS has noticed an increase in personnel completing fingerprints for their criminal background check before they have filed an application with DSHS. EMS personnel must submit an application for EMS Certification/licensure, Criminal History Pre-Screen Petition, or an Administrator of Record (AOR) form before completing the fingerprint process. Completing fingerprints without submitting an application and/or AOR form to DSHS will cause a delay in processing your application.

The link for the new form and process is below – scroll down to the Fingerprinting section:
