Have you ever been fingerprinted?

[Nette]

Yep. For my current job. But once I had a job where I had to get a retinal scan... To get into the server room. Yeah that employer was a little paranoid.

 

[scrapquitler]

Yes, for my job as a substitute teacher. The second time, I needed a public service drivers license for my group home job, and that required fingerprinting as well. I am kind of uncomfortable about it, not because I've ever done anything wrong, but I hate to be in the fingerprint databases, just in case of possible errors.

I had to be fingerprinted to get my original (and to renew/upgrade to a lifetime) Concealed Carry Permit. I guess that could qualify as a job need since I get to carry on the job too.

I don't remember if I had to get my prints ran when I got licensed as a teacher, although I did have to pay for/submit to a background search.

 

[Lintasare]

Yes for a job at a bank.

I always joke with my parents that if I ever go missing that my fingerprints are on file with the FBI. I think that is the agency the bank sent them too. Or the Secret Service...not sure which.

 

[rie'smom]

When I was in the first grade our whole school was fingerprinted.

 

[Keli]

No, I've never had a situation that required it. And quite frankly, I'm glad. I just don't like the idea of my fingerprints being on file. I don't know exactly why since I have no intentions of committing a crime, it just seems like it's an invasion of privacy for some reason.
Having said that I would certainly do it if I needed to for a job or another important reason. I'm just not crazy about the idea, lol.

 

[Pakey]

Yes, when I went into the military.

 

[nskjerven]

Girl Scout leaders & volunteers are now required for finger printing - and I think before that to be a Notary

 

[RangerPooh]

[*JoGo*]

[NHdisneylover]

FULL prints 11 times:
4 preschools/daycares I worked at
1 time being approved for in home child care
2 school districts I worked in
2 churches I volunteered with children in
1 girl scout summe camp I worked at (never as "just" a leader--not even this year, maybe that is by council)
1 library I worked at

plus a dozen or so times having ust one finger/thumb taken for various things (often travel related).

 

[effervescent]

Yes, 2 airline jobs and 2 police dept jobs. I think both the airline ones were ink, the other two electronic.

 

[michael61]

Hay it keeps us safe so why not. I have to be finger printed for my job. we need to be safer

 

[Disneyadore]

Every time we enter the US we have to give fingerprints of both our hands and an iris scan.
And no we don't mind.

 

[PrincesCJM]

Yes - I'm a teacher and was finger printed 7-8 years ago. Every 5 years so or the state of Maine re-runs my prints to make sure I can still be in a classroom. My school is currently undergoing a renovation and even the construction workers had to be finger printed since they are working in a school.

 

[SookieStackhouse]

Yes, for work.
