Step 1:
- Complete the Clearinghouse Request for Information Form and Privacy Policy Forms for School Volunteers. This information is required by the Clearinghouse; the fingerprint process cannot continue without it.
- Due to the sensitivity and confidentiality of the information requested, you must return these documents to the Volunteer Services Department using one of the following options:
- By fax: 904-547-3925, Attn: Volunteer Services Department
- By mail: 40 Orange Street, St. Augustine, Florida 32084, Attn: Volunteer Services Department
- In person: 40 Orange Street, St. Augustine, Florida 32084, Attn: Volunteer Services Department
The information requested will be entered into the Clearinghouse to determine if fingerprinting is required. After reviewing you will receive verification via email that: a) your fingerprints are acceptable in the Clearinghouse; or b) you need to have fingerprints done. If you need to have fingerprints done, proceed to Step 2.
Note – Do not proceed to step 2 until receiving verification that fingerprints are necessary.
