Effective July 26, 2021, the State of Connecticut has implemented new procedures for fingerprinting requirements for conditions of employment.

Please read all instructions carefully.

If you are a Westport resident or persons requiring fingerprinting for conditions of employment with a business in the Town of Westport, please follow the below instructions. For Westport residents requiring fingerprinting for purposes outside of the state of Connecticut, you may skip steps one and four.

1.  You must pre-enroll with the Connecticut Criminal History Request System (CCHRS). Please contact your employer for the service code and then pre-enroll at   https://ct.flexcheck.us.idemia.io/CCHRSPreEnroll/. Once you have completed your pre-enrollment instructions and have received the State of Connecticut's transaction code, you may schedule your appointment. Fingerprints cannot be processed without this transaction code; you must bring this transaction code with you to your appointment, DO NOT MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO BE  FINGERPRINTED UNTIL YOU HAVE RECEIVED THIS CODE.

2.  Schedule a fingerprinting appointment. 
Tuesday mornings 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM
Thursday afternoon from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM

 • Appointments are scheduled through Square.com, separate from the Town of Westport site.  Please note that confirmation emails and all correspondence regarding fingerprint appointments will come from Square.com.

• Appointments can be made up to 30 days in advance.  If you are not able to keep your appointment, please be sure to cancel.

• We will make every effort to accommodate appointments; however, please be advised that appointments may be canceled without prior notice due to circumstances beyond our control. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Once an appointment is scheduled, come to Westport Police Headquarters at 50 Jesup Road, and proceed to the Records Division window for assistance.

3. You must sign and date the FBI Privacy Act Statement and Noncriminal Justice Applicant’s Privacy Rights form and bring them with you to your appointment.

4. Bring your State of Connecticut-issued transaction code with you to your appointment. Fingerprints cannot be processed without this transaction code.

5. Only Westport residents or persons requiring fingerprinting for conditions of employment with a business in the Town of Westport are eligible for fingerprinting. Please present a driver's license or photo identification to be fingerprinted. If your driver's license or photo identification does not list a Westport address, proof of Westport residency such as utility or tax bill is required.

6. Please moisturize your hands for several days before fingerprinting.

FEES

The cost of fingerprinting is $10.00 per person for up to three fingerprint cards per session. More than three fingerprint cards are an additional $5.00. Fingerprinting fees are CASH ONLY.  No Checks or Credit Cards will be accepted.

PLEASE NOTE

If you were previously fingerprinted at the Westport Police Department and your fingerprints were rejected, there is no charge for a re-print. You must bring in the rejected fingerprint card with you as well as any documentation accompanying it.

We do not fingerprint for Immigration Applications. Any questions concerning your eligibility for fingerprinting please contact the Records Division at 203-341-6001.

WINTER WEATHER POLICY

If the Westport Public Schools are closed, fingerprinting is canceled. If there is a late opening, there will be no morning session. If there is an early dismissal there will be no afternoon session.
