Steps to Initiate and Track Screenings

Failure to get your background screening on time will result in not being allowed to renew your license. The background screening process takes time due to multiple required steps and processing. Waiting too long will result in licensing delays or expiration.

 

1. Register with the CHAI system to create or update your profile.

  •  Refer to the User Guide if you experience issues.

 

2. Schedule a fingerprinting appointment with a Livescan provider.

  • Health care practitioners are responsible for the screening costs and should be aware that fees vary by service provider.
  • Find providers in your region.

 

3. Bring your ORI Number to your fingerprinting appointment.

  • A form with your prepopulated ORI number is available for printing if using CHAI.


4. Request your Transaction Control Number (TCN).

  • Get your TCN from the Livescan provider before leaving your appointment. The Department cannot retrieve your TCN.

 

5. Track your fingerprint submission.

 

When applying for or renewing your license, you must acknowledge the privacy statement regarding electronic fingerprinting within the application. Your screening results cannot be shared with the Department if the privacy statement is not received.
