Arizona State Background Check Options

Sometimes local records are not enough. You may need a statewide or federal background check instead.

The Arizona Department of Public Safety runs the state background check system. Their Central State Repository holds all Arizona criminal history records. This is the place for comprehensive background checks that go beyond Casa Grande or Pinal County records.

The Fingerprint Clearance Card is the main credential for background screening in Arizona. Teachers, healthcare workers, childcare providers, and many others need this card. It shows you have passed both state and federal criminal history checks. Cards are valid for six years. Apply through the DPS Public Services Portal.

To get a clearance card, you need electronic fingerprints. Casa Grande Police does not offer electronic prints. You will need to use Fieldprint or another approved vendor. The closest Fieldprint locations may be in Phoenix or Tucson. Check the DPS website for a full list of vendors.

Arizona law governs who can access criminal records and how they are used. Under A.R.S. 41-1750, the Central State Repository maintains all criminal history record information. Precluding offenses for clearance cards are listed in A.R.S. 41-1758.03. Review these statutes if you have questions about what shows up on a background check.
