Electronic Fingerprint Submission

Service Code: 28TZ99 (Real Estate Commission)

Applicants residing in Tennessee must make an appointment through IdentoGO who will transmit your fingerprints to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and the Federal Bureau of Investigation for processing. To schedule your appointment, go to https://www.identogo.com/ or call IdentoGO at (855) 266-2937.

Out-of-State applicants who are unable to go to an IdentoGO location may use their non-resident card scan service. This program uses advanced scanning technology to convert a traditional fingerprint card into an electronic record, allowing processing as quickly as electronic fingerprinting.
