Thank you for completing the ACCUFAX background check as part of your pre-employment process. In accordance with Oklahoma law, all school employees also are required to have a national background check that includes the collection of fingerprints. Locations where you can be fingerprinted as part of this process can be found at: http://www.l1enrollment.com/locations/?st=ok. Please complete your fingerprinting within one week of your hiring OR your first visit to Oklahoma, if you are relocating from out-of-state. An appointment is often required so please plan ahead.

The suggested location is The Mail Run, 105 S. Grand, Enid, OK. It is located on the southeast corner of the Grand and Broadway Intersection (between Galaxy Mattress and Larry's Home Oxygen).

There are two different ways to meet the background check requirement. Please read below carefully and follow the one that meets your personal/professional situation.

Scenario #1

If you are a newly certified teacher or applying for Oklahoma certification from out-of-state, you will be required to complete a national background check by SDE. EPS can request a copy of this report. Because this is part of the certification process, you are responsible for costs associated with the background check ($59). It is still necessary for you to complete the National Criminal History Background Check form in TalentEd Records. Additionally, on the Fingerprint Instructions Form, please select Option 1 and ignore the appointment portion of the form.

Scenario #2

If you are already certified in Oklahoma, you must have a new background check as a term of your employment. EPS will pay for the cost of your screening. In TalentEd Records, complete the National Criminal History Background Check Form and follow all instructions on the Fingerprint Instructions Form.
