How do I make a fingerprint appointment?

BCCU does not schedule fingerprint appointments, you will need to contact the fingerprint vendor, IdentoGO/IDEMIA.

To schedule an appointment through IdentoGO/IDEMIA, we recommend you schedule online at https://WA.state.Identogo.com or you can also call their customer service at 1-888-771-5097. You will need the following to schedule an appointment:

  1. Applicant's Date of Birth.
  2. Applicant Inquiry ID/OCA number. The Inquiry ID/OCA number can be found on the Interim Fingerprint Check Notification or the fingerprint appointment form. The fingerprint appointment form and fingerprint notice is generated in BCS for the hiring entity and should then be provided to the applicant.
