Fingerprint
Services:
The Wexford
County Sheriff's Office operates on a live scan fingerprint
machine, a machine that digitally scans and transmits fingerprints
to the State, who in return sends the results directly to the
requesting agency, usually via email within days of receipt.
Costs for prints
may vary, depending on reason for prints. Payment is expected
at time of prints and you must bring your Michigan Driver's License
or Identification Card. Additionally, paperwork indicating the
reason for prints must be presented.
In order for prints
to be electronically submitted, the requesting agency (ex: school)
has an identifying Agency Number that is required for transmission. Check with your employer for this number.
Bring a notice in writing requesting that you be fingerprinted with
the Agency Number, Agency Information, your Name and Information,
and Reason for prints (ex: SE for School Employment).
Typically, the
machine is available Monday-Friday between 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM,
excluding holidays; however, the machine is portable and is
occasionally out of the office. Persons are advised to
call ahead to ensure the machine is available and to inquire about
fees. We DO NOT have change. Exact cash, check, or
money orders only.
We are unable to accommodate children while you are being
fingerprinted, so please make prior arrangements.
Some Known Fees are:
For School Employment, exactly $64.25
For School Volunteer, exactly $60.25
For prints only - NO electronic transmission: exactly $15.00
