How long is an Arizona Fingerprint Clearance Card valid?
An Arizona Fingerprint Clearance Card is valid for six years from the date of issuance. This applies to both the standard Fingerprint Clearance Card and the Level 1 Fingerprint Clearance Card. After six years, the card expires, and you will need to renew it by submitting a new application and undergoing another background check through the Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS).
It’s important to renew your Fingerprint Clearance Card before it expires to avoid any interruptions in employment or licensure if your profession requires continuous clearance. You can begin the renewal process online before the card expires by visiting the DPS website.
