Fingerprinting Services

Our office now offers electronic fingerprinting services. Fingerprint services are by appointment only. Please contact Crystal Weddington at cweddington@whitworth.edu to schedule an appointment. Prior to your appointment, you must pay the $80 fingerprinting fee. There are two payment options:

If you choose this option, you must take the Fingerprinting Payment Form (first page of the Fingerprinting Form) to the cashier's office. Once the cashier has signed the form, please bring that verification of payment with you for your appointment.
2. Via the online payment form.

What to bring on the day of your appointment:

• Fingerprinting Payment Form (if you paid the fee in person) signed by the cashier's office
