Where Did My TCN Go?
The TCN, or Transaction Control Number, is your golden ticket to background check status glory. It's usually printed on a receipt you get after your fingerprints are scanned. But hey, receipts have a way of disappearing faster than a free donut at a police station fundraiser.
Tip: Don’t just scroll — pause and absorb.
Here are a few places to check for your elusive TCN:
- The Receipt Robin Hood: Did you get a paper or digital receipt? Scour it for any number labeled "TCN," "Transaction ID," or something similar.
- The Email Enigma: Some fancy fingerprinting agencies might send you a receipt via email. Search your inbox for any messages with the agency's name or "fingerprint background check."
When the Receipt Gods Have Failed You
Sometimes, the receipt gods are cruel. But fret not, for there's still hope!
Tip: Read the whole thing before forming an opinion.
- Channel Your Inner Detective: Contact the fingerprinting agency you visited. They might have your TCN on file and can play fingerprint fairy godmother.
- The FDLE Force: The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) is the ultimate authority on TCNs. You can try calling them at (850) 410-8109, but be prepared for some hold music that might make you nostalgic for the days of dial-up internet.
Remember: The FDLE website can only tell you the status of the FDLE portion of your background check. The organization requesting the check might have additional processing times.
