Home MenuFingerprinting
All prelicense applicants must submit a traditional fingerprint card or livescan digital submission. Currently, the digital fingerprinting service is only available at some law enforcement centers in Kansas, the KBI office in Topeka, and Pearson VUE Professional Centers in Overland Park, Topeka and Wichita (not available at third-party testing centers).
- Bring a government-issued photo ID and the Fingerprinting Information sheet (form only required for livescan printing) to your fingerprint appointment.
- Livescan fingerprinting must be completed in Kansas. Non-resident or resident applicants who are unable to complete livescan fingerprinting in Kansas must submit traditional fingerprint cards via U.S. Mail.
- KREC will not process livescan fingerprint submissions until the applicant has submitted the Salesperson or Broker Pre-licensure application online.
Pearson VUE
Pearson VUE offers digital fingerprinting to exam candidates at the following test centers: Overland Park, Topeka, and Wichita. View details and a candidate handbook.
To make a digital fingerprinting reservation, visit www.pearsonvue.com and choose: Fingerprint KSREFP: KS RE Fingerprint Appointment. Register with your full legal name, as it appears on your government-issued ID, when you make your fingerprint reservation.
The $16 fingerprint fee must be paid to Pearson at the time of reservation by credit or debit card. This fee is separate from the application and background fees paid to KREC. Depending on availability, candidates are not guaranteed a fingerprint appointment adjacent to their exam appointment.
Law Enforcement Agency
Applicants may be printed at your local police or sheriff's department and should contact them directly to confirm availability of fingerprint card or livescan services. View a list of agencies offering print services in Kansas.
Specifically, Sedgwick and Johnson County sheriff’s offices will complete livescan fingerprinting services for KREC but applicants still need to contact them directly to make arrangements.
