RPN applicants will need to obtain proof of fingerprinting by a licensed Illinois Live Scan Fingerprint Vendor. Once you get fingerprinted, the vendor will give you a receipt with a transaction control number (TCN). In addition, they will transfer your prints to the Illinois State Police to perform the background check. Once the state police complete their check, they will submit the results to the IDFPR.
Hold on to your receipt just in case there’s a breakdown in the process from the vendor, to the police, and then to IDFPR.
