New Fingerprinting Procedures
ATTENTION
The School Board of Broward County has formed an alliance with PrideRock Holding Company (PRHC) for outsourcing fingerprinting.
Beginning March 5, 2007, PrideRock Holding Company will process all fingerprinting services in accordance with the Jessica Lunsford Act 1012.465 F.S. You MUST register for fingerprinting services online at www.broward.sofn.net . You MUST have an e-mail address in order to complete the registration process.
When registering, students MUST use UE00064 for the required vendor number. If you enter the site and forget which vendor number you are to use, you can click on “Vendor Locator” and search by Broward Community College (NOT BCC). Students need to choose Broward Community College (Felix Beda).
The new fingerprinting fee will be $80.00 payable in the form of credit card, paypal, or electronic check through the online system. All checks or money orders should be made payable to PrideRock Holding Company during on-line registration. All fingerprints are electronically transmitted to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
PLEASE NOTE: If paying by personal check or company check, your fingerprints WILL NOT be submitted to FDLE/FBI until your check clears with the bank. This will result in a delay of completing your background check. As a reminder, please allow 7-10 business days for your check to clear.
Once your registration is complete, you will be prompted to print out a receipt form with a bar code that you MUST take to the fingerprinting center along with the government identification you registered with. PrideRock Holding Company has fingerprinting locations in Broward County and several other Florida locations. This form will be your proof of payment and registration.
Broward County School Board Employees Every student registered for field experience must be fingerprinted and receive a badge in order to go into any Broward County school. If you are a current Broward County School Board Employee who has been fingerprinted already, please obtain a Badge Request Form from the Education Placement Office and bring it together with a piece of identification to the Security Clearance Office located on the first floor of the KC Wright building to receive your badge. The fee will be $5. International Students International students are not to register online with PrideRock. They obtain a Badge Request Form from the Education Placement Office and bring it, together with either their Tax Identification Number or their college/university student ID to the KC Wright Building. International students will be fingerprinted for their badge. The fee is $80 payable in Money Order or major credit card (Visa or MasterCard only). Procedure for Badge renewal: You have up to 30 days prior to the expiration date of your badge to renew it. In order to renew your badge within the time frame, please contact the BCC Education Placement office to get the Badge Request Form. You will need to take the form together with your expired badge to the KC Wright Building in downtown Fort Lauderdale. The renewal fee is $20. If your badge expires, you will need to restart the whole process and pay the full $80 fee.
Once you have been cleared, your ID badge will automatically be forwarded to the Broward College Placement Office. You should receive an email from the School Board of Broward County Security Clearance Office advising you on the status of your application. Upon reception of this email, please contact the Broward College Placement office at 954-201-4537 to verify if your badge has arrived and to arrange pickup.
If you have any questions or concerns please contact Felix Beda at 954-201-4537, or at e-mail address: fbedaand@broward.edu
