Fingerprint Clearance Forms

Check that your fingerprint clearance has been posted on your TEACH account. If your fingerprint clearance has not been posted:

  • File the OSPRA 104 form (pdf) if you already completed your clearance with New York City Department of Education.
  • File the OSPRA 103 form (pdf) if you completed your fingerprint clearance outside of New York City.

Allow about two weeks for processing.

If you have not filed forms for fingerprint clearance yet, please contact us for instructions.

If you would like confirmation of your fingerprint clearance, call the New York City Department of Education Division of Human Resources HR Connect: 718.935.4000.
