	FINGERPRINT PROCEDURES AND INFORMATION The Alien Flight Student Program (AFSP) recommends the following steps for correctly submitting fingerprints. Following these steps will help in processing Training Requests with fewer delays. 1. The Candidate MUST receive their Fingerprint Instructions by email before submitting fingerprints. Submitting fingerprints prior to receiving Fingerprint Instructions is a violation of AFSP policy and renders those prints invalid. 2. The Candidate MUST print out the email with the Fingerprint Instructions and bring it to the fingerprint collector. Specific information must be included on the card to ensure proper handling and delivery to the proper clearinghouse. 3. The fingerprint collector MUST follow proper procedures for collecting fingerprints. Common errors on the finger print cards that cause delays include: a. Incomplete information entered on the fingerprint card, i.e: name, date of birth, address or referenced numbers. b. Information is entered illegibly on the fingerprint card. c. The User ID on the fingerprint card is incomplete, inaccurate, or illegible. 4. Fingerprints must be sent via registered mail – traceable receipts should be kept for the reference. 5. Fingerprints MUST be submitted by the fingerprint collector directly to the Transportation Security Clearinghouse for processing. If anyone elso is ever in possession of the fingerprints, the fingerprints will be rejected by TSA. 6. The Candidate or the Provider should follow up with the Transportation Security Clearinghouse for fingerprint processing at (703) 797-2550 after seven (7) business days have passed since submitting fingerprints. Please contact the Transportation Security Clearinghouse before you contact AFSP. Make sure you say the fingerprints were submitted for the Alien Flight Student Program (AFSP) and have the specifics about your fingerprint submission (i.e. training request number, who took the prints, the date printed, where the prints were taken, tracking information, live-scan or ink-rolled, etc.). Also, make note of who you spoke with at the Transportation Security Clearinghouse in case of any problems. 7. Transportation Security Clearinghouse and NATA are both referred to as fingerprint clearinghouses, but they are not the same entity. When you contact AFSP, please know with which clearinghouse you spoke. The best option for checking on your fingerprint status is sending an email to AFSP with your training request number, who you spoke with at the Transportation Security Clearinghouse and what information they provided.
