Effective 17 April 2006, if a candidate submits/submitted fingerprints prior to paying for his/her training request and receiving the official AFSP fingerprinting instructions, the fingerprints will be invalid and the associated training request will be cancelled. The fingerprints will NOT be applied to any current or future training request. Both the candidate and the provider will receive an email notifying them that the fingerprints are invalid, the training request is cancelled and what steps need to be taken to resolve the problem to complete processing through AFSP.
