Where to Get Fingerprinted in Schuylkill County: Central Booking vs. IDENTOGO
Where you get fingerprinted in Schuylkill County depends on why you need prints. Central Booking handles criminal arrest processing and certain applicant cards, while most background-check submissions go through IDENTOGO.
Schuylkill County Central Booking (through the Sheriff's Office) handles LIVESCAN fingerprinting and digital photographing for indictable offenses. This is part of the county's arrest-processing workflow, not a general "any reason" fingerprinting option. Once prints and photos are captured, they're transmitted to the Pennsylvania State Police repository and then forwarded to the FBI.
Applicant Cards
- ✓ Criminal justice employment (MPOETC)
- ✓ Pennsylvania state licenses
- ✓ Name changes
- ✓ Federal Firearms Licenses (FFL)
- ✓ Private Detective Licenses
For non-criminal fingerprinting, Central Booking isn't the right place for most common needs. If you need prints for educational clearances (teaching, refereeing, coaching, parent volunteers, and similar roles), adoption, human services fields, or transportation and HAZMAT requirements tied to PennDOT, you'll need to go through IDENTOGO instead.
Note: Central Booking operates as a self-sustaining office and charges administrative fees for its services. Call ahead to confirm current pricing and accepted payment methods before you go.
