Texas board of nursing Criminal background check Cleared check or cleared Declaratory Order application must be present in file before attending nursing courses Once you have started your document tracker and verified your acceptance into the Nursing Program then your name will be added to the cohort roster. The roster is sent into the Texas BON and usually within 3-4 weeks the school will be given further instructions with the associated school code to give out to incoming students in order to have your fingerprints scanned. Please look for the Identego Service Code instructions to be sent via email from a school representative. The Service Code form is used to schedule your fingerprint appointment only and is no longer required to bring to the appointment with you. It generally takes from 2-8 weeks for the CBC to be cleared through the FBI and the DMV so you need to start your CBC as soon as you get the Service Code. Once the CBC has cleared then you will receive a small blue post card which you will need to upload to your document tracker.
