CBI Unique ID & Codes for Digital Fingerprinting

W.T.F. (What The Fingerprint) are CBI Unique IDs and CBI Unique CODES?

The Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) oversees the Colorado Applicant Background Services (CABS) department. When digitally capturing your fingerprints through a third party Live Scan channeler, such as ColoradoFingerprinting.com, a "CBI Unique ID" or a "CBI Unique Code" is used to route your background check results to the correct agency.  A checklist for signing up for a CBI fingerprint based background check is detailed below followed by a helpful list of the most common Unique IDs & Unique Codes

Check with your Employer, Regulating Agency/Department, and/or your Credentialing Institution to get your CBI Unique ID or if they have a specific billing account already established with a digital fingerprinting provider they want you to use.

This can be confusing, and we try and stay atop the latest information in the fingerprinting and background check world.  But your employer, Regulating Agency, and/or Credentialing Institution will have the most up to date information as to what's needed  for digital fingerprint providers, submissions, and payment.
