Baltimore County Public Schools requires ALL officials to be background checked and fingerprinted every 5 years. It is up to each individual to ensure your BCPS fingerprint card is current and valid. Officials who are employees of BCPS do not need to be fingerprinted, but should send a picture of a valid BCPS, BCPD, or BCP&R photo ID to your assignors

​Click the PDF link below to download the instructions. Take page 7 with you when you get fingerprinted. When done send pages 2 and 3 to the BCPS contact. You should receive a letter from the Md Department of Corrections within a few days and should receive your card from BCPS a few days after you receive the letter. Take a picture of the fingerprint card and send to your assignor. DON'T wait until August as there will be potential delays in processing the card. Don't trust another organization to handle the paperwork flow for you. It's best to do everything on your own to be 100% sure it's completed. Contact your sports chair if you have any questions.
