Criminal History Records Check

Depending on the type of transportation (e.g. aviation) operation, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) requires a fingerprint-based criminal history records check (CHRC) on certain individuals as described by the Code of Federal Regulations that perform certain security-sensitive job functions. For example, a CHRC must be completed for all flight crew personnel on aircraft that operates commercially and that has a maximum take-off weight of greater than 12,500 pounds. Also, all individuals who have unescorted access to Secure Identification Display Areas (SIDA), and all individuals who perform screening functions for passengers, checked baggage and cargo require a CHRC.

In addition:

Aircraft operators must collect, control, and process fingerprints through a NATACS certified collector, or under the direct observation of a qualified employee or by a law enforcement officer.
NATACS has been working with TSA to fulfill the requirement since its inception.
NATACS developed methods to maintain clear chain of custody, and uses both electronic or inkless scanning approved by the FBI and TSA.
Our collection locations and processes are convenient and flexible.
