Background All California resident insurance producers, adjusters, and bail agent applicants are required to submit fingerprint impressions for a complete background check through the California Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) before the California Department of Insurance (CDI) can complete its application processing. In addition, non-resident insurance producers and adjusters applicants who were not previously fingerprinted as a condition of obtaining an insurance producer license in their resident state must submit fingerprint impressions for the complete background check stated above. CDI’s contract with its current fingerprint vendor expires April 30, 2018 and cannot be renewed or extended, which required CDI to complete the competitive bid process for a new vendor. Through the competitive bid process CDI was able to select the fingerprint vendor that met CDI’s specifications for qualifications, achievements, timeliness, responsiveness and the fingerprint rolling fee. CDI received several responses and selected Accurate Biometrics, CDI’s current fingerprint vendor.
