Fingerprint Background Waiver
As an applicant who is the subject of a national fingerprint-based criminal history record check for a noncriminal
justice purpose (such as an application for employment or a license, an immigration or naturalization matter,
security clearance, or adoption), you have certain rights which are discussed below. All notices must be provided
to you in writing. These obligations are pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974, Title 5, United States Code (U.S.C.)
Section 552a, and Title 28 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), 50.12, among other authorities.
1. You must be notified by Nevada DPS – Background Unit__ (name of requesting agency) that your
fingerprints will be used to check the criminal history records of the FBI and the State of Nevada.
_ ________
2. Authority: The FBI’s acquisition, preservation, and exchange of fingerprints and associated information is
generally authorized under 28 U.S.C. 534. Depending on the nature of your application, supplemental
authorities include Federal statutes, State statutes pursuant to Pub. L. 92-544, Presidential Executive Orders,
and federal regulations. Providing your fingerprints and associated information is voluntary; however,
failure to do so may affect completion or approval of your application.
3. Principal Purpose: Certain determinations, such as employment, licensing, and security clearances, may be
predicated on fingerprint-based background checks. Your fingerprints and associated
information/biometrics may be provided to the employing, investigating, or otherwise responsible agency,
and/or the FBI for the purpose of comparing your fingerprints to other fingerprints in the FBI’s Next
Generation Identification (NGI) system or its successor systems (including civil, criminal, and latent
fingerprint repositories) or other available records of the employing, investigating, or otherwise responsible
agency. The FBI and/or the Central Repository for Nevada Records of Criminal History may retain your
fingerprints and associated information/biometrics in NGI after the completion of this application and, while
retained, your fingerprints may continue to be compared against other fingerprints submitted to or retained
by NGI.
4. Routine Uses: During the processing of this application and for as long thereafter as your fingerprints and
associated information/biometrics are retained in NGI and/or Central Repository for Nevada Records of
Criminal History, your information may be disclosed pursuant to your consent, and may be disclosed without
your consent as permitted by the Privacy Act of 1974 and all applicable Routine Uses as may be published at
any time in the Federal Register, including the Routine Uses for the NGI system and the FBI’s Blanket Routine
Uses. Routine uses include, but are not limited to, disclosures to: employing, governmental or authorized
non-governmental agencies responsible for employment, contracting, licensing, security clearances, and
other suitability determinations; local, state, tribal, or federal law enforcement agencies; criminal justice
agencies; and agencies responsible for national security or public safety.
5. If you have a criminal history record, you should be afforded a reasonable amount to time to correct or
complete the record (or decline to do so) before the officials deny you the employment, license, or other
benefit based on information in the FBI criminal history record. The procedures for obtaining a change,
correction, or update of your FBI criminal history record as set forth at, 28 CFR 16.34 provides for the proper
procedure to do so.
