Please remember to sign the Additional Instructions. • Credit Check Waiver (attac-hed PDF) and Tax Chec-k Waiver (attached PDF) - These are additional waivers needed for aspects of your background investigation. Please do not date or sign the tax check waiver electronically as it will delay processing, rather please handwrite the date and sign the hard copy. • Immigration Addendum (attached PDF) - Only complete- the Immigration Addendum if applicable to you. • Fingerprint Cards (sent via FedEx) - We have mailed you two sets of fingerprint cards, which you should promptly take to your local police station, FBI office, or a private company, to get your fingerprints taken.
