NISP contractor fingerprint submissions resume

Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) has resumed the submission of fingerprints under the 346W SON to the FBI. All fingerprints previously submitted during the temporary pause have been released from the queue and are now being processed by the FBI. Contractors may continue to capture and submit fingerprints electronically to DCSA as usual.

Important Information for Contractors: 

  • The 120-day processing countdown did not begin until fingerprints were released to the FBI. 

  • Fingerprints did not expire while they are in the queue during the shutdown. 

Thank you for your patience and understanding during the shutdown period. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please contact DCSA Customer Support at: dcsa.boyers.dcsa.mbx.industry-agency-liaison@mail.mil
