Fingerprinting
Fingerprinting services are provided by Duke police for students, staff and faculty who require security clearance for certain campus areas or background checks to obtain medical and law board licenses.
Background checks that include fingerprinting are typically required for medical technicians working in secure labs, physicians applying for medical licenses and students seeking internships with government agencies.
Fingerprints obtained by the Duke University Police Department are sent to the appropriate Duke department or individual, who then forward the prints to the requesting agency.
Information obtained as a result of fingerprinting is used solely for the purpose of determining access to a specific area or license. Individuals have the right to refuse to be fingerprinted for a background check, but doing so may limit access to secure areas and prevent board licensing.
To schedule a fingerprinting appointment, call (919) 684-2444.
