Background Check Prerequisites
Before you can start your background check, you must first have your core credentials verified. This includes your Professional License, Identification and I-9.
You will be emailed a fingerprinting request form with our information.
IMPORTANT: Do not send your fingerprints to Washington without this form from ShiftMed.
Steps for Fingerprinting
Using https://watch.wsp.wa.gov/, choose your fingerprinting location.
You will need to cover the cost of the fingerprinting card.
Once you complete your fingerprinting and receive your fingerprinting card, complete the top of the card with the following information:
ORI Section: 24070508D
Reason for fingerprinting: Public Information
Employer and address: ShiftMed LLC 7925 Jones Branch Drive #1100 Mclean VA 22102
You will need to mail your fingerprints to the Washington State Patrol. Please include.
WSP form from ShiftMed (Make sure subject Information is filled out)
Fingerprint Card (Make sure top section is completed as shown above)
Do not include payment (ShiftMed covers this cost)
You will need to mail your fingerprints to
Washington State Patrol
PO Box 42633
Olympia WA 98504-2633
We suggest mailing this with a tracking number so you can see when it arrives to the State Patrol. You will not be reimbursed for your postage.
What Happens Next
Once Washington State Patrol receives your fingerprint card, they will run it though their database and release the results to us electronically.
The Washington background check can take up to 7-14 days to be processed.
While processing, your Background Check credential will appear as "Pending" in the My Credentials section of the app.
Once Your Background Check is Complete
When we receive the final results, your profile and credential status will be updated automatically. You will then see this requirement marked as complete.
