From promoters to priests: who in the US needs to pass a fingerprint check

When applying for a job in the United States often require data verification, including verification of fingerprints through the FBI base.

The list of posts for which a similar test is required was quite unexpected, writes CNN.

Talent agents

Most states require those who want to work as agents of stars or models to pass a fingerprint verification on the basis of the FBI.

“Agents negotiate contracts on behalf of their clients and take money on behalf of clients, so it is very important that they have been fully vetted,” explained Association of Talent Agents chief executive Karen Stewart.

At the same time, despite all precautions, the entertainment industry has a long history of fraud in its various manifestations.

Boxers promoters

After the famous boxer Mohammed Ali raised a scandal in 2000, telling how the organizers of the fights and promoters are cashing in on the achievements of athletes, the issue of organizing boxing fights was settled at the legislative level.

Although the document does not directly require that promoters pass a fingerprint check, some states have decided that such a check is a prerequisite for hiring a promotion agency.

Lottery ticket sellers

Most states require lottery ticket sellers to pass fingerprint checks before accepting them to work, which seems quite logical, given that millions of dollars are in fact in their hands.

Lottery organizers want to be sure that their ticket sellers do not have a dubious past or acquaintances connected with crime.

Truck drivers

It’s pretty obvious why companies don’t want criminals to transport their valuable cargo across the country, and this is supported by the federal government.

Therefore, freight and passenger companies, as well as airlines, use fingerprint verification through the FBI for their potential employees.

Funeral organizers

The funeral organizers receive money from vulnerable people, from those who have recently lost a dear person. There have been cases of fraud in this area by filling in false documents with the funeral organizers and receiving insurance intended for the burial of the person whose data they illegally used.

Ohio is one of the states where it happened, so a fingerprint check is required for funeral organizers.

Priests

There is no federal or state law requiring priests to pass a fingerprint check. However, after several sex scandals associated with the church, some dioceses demanded that their priests undergo a similar test.
