What is Census Fingerprinting?

Census Fingerprinting refers to the process of collecting fingerprints from individuals as part of a background check for employment with the U.S. Census Bureau. This step is often required for temporary census jobs to help ensure the safety and security of census operations. The fingerprints are used to check an applicant's criminal history and verify their identity. The process is typically straightforward and conducted at designated fingerprinting locations after a job offer is made.
