FCPS is pleased to offer fully remote onboarding, which will provide added convenience and expedite the onboarding process for those living outside the metropolitan Washington D.C., Maryland, and Virginia area.

Remote onboarding requires the completion of the following three (3) steps within seven (7) days: 

• Step 1: Upload Copies of Your I-9 Required Documents and a Photo to be Used for Your FCPS Photo ID Badge
• Step 2: Schedule a Remote Fingerprint Appointment at One of 1,900+ Fieldprint Locations Across the U.S. and its Territories or at One of 15+ Fieldprint Locations across Metropolitan DC/Maryland/Virginia Fieldprint Locations
  • Create an account and schedule a remote fingerprinting appointment at a convenient Fieldprint location. It is important to schedule your appointment within 24 hours. Please read the instructions and reminders carefully.
• Step 3: Schedule a 20-minute Virtual Appointment for Identification and Employment Eligibility Verification*
  • You will receive an email with a personalized link to schedule your virtual meeting, conducted via Zoom, with our FCPS staff. 

• You may be asked to make corrections to the Virginia Department of Social Services Background Check request form, so it is important to be logged in to Onboard before the appointment. 

• The badge photo submission will also be reviewed to ensure it meets the requirements. If it does not, your picture will be taken during the appointment. 

• For a successful appointment, please be prepared with the following documents:

  • Original identity and employment verification (I-9) documents;
  • Negative Tuberculosis (TB) test/screening results;

We recognize that fully remote onboarding requires comfort with using a variety of technology platforms and the ability to upload documents. If you would prefer to complete this phase in person with the support of our staff at the FCPS Gatehouse Administration Center, (8115 Gatehouse Road, Falls Church, VA 22042), an in-person appointment can be scheduled.
