NOTICE TO APPLICANT
In accordance with ARS §41-1750(A)(2) and ARS §41-1758 et seq., the Arizona Department
of Public Safety (DPS) Applicant Clearance Card Team (ACCT) conducts fingerprint-based
criminal history record checks and exchanges the fingerprint data with the Federal Bureau of
Investigation. Further, as required by ARS §41-1750(G)(3), ARS §41-1758.03(F) and ARS
§41-1758.07(F), DPS releases an applicant’s criminal history record to the Arizona Board of
Fingerprinting, upon the Arizona Board of Fingerprinting’s request for conducting good cause
exceptions.
Your fingerprints will be used to check the criminal history records of the state of Arizona and
of the FBI. DPS and the FBI may retain your fingerprints and associated information after the
completion of this application and, while retained, your fingerprints may continue to be
compared against other fingerprints, including latent fingerprints submitted to or retained by
DPS and the FBI.
If you have a criminal history record, the officials making the determination of your suitability
for the job, license, or other benefit must provide you the opportunity to complete or challenge
the accuracy of the information in the record. You should be afforded a reasonable amount
of time to correct or complete the record (or decline to do so) before officials deny you the
job, license, or other benefit based on information in the criminal history record.
The procedures for obtaining a change, correction, or updating of your FBI criminal history
record are set forth in Title 28, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Section 16.30 through
16.34. Information on how to review and challenge your FBI criminal history record can be
found at www.fbi.gov under Criminal History Summary Checks or by calling (304) 625-5590.

Challenge packet.
