Where can an applicant for a New York Private Investigator license obtain the accepted fingerprinting services?

  1. Private fingerprinting service

  2. Federal FBI Offices

  3. Employees of the Department of State, Division of Licensing Services at designated locations

  4. Any public library

The correct answer is: Employees of the Department of State, Division of Licensing Services at designated locations

Designated locations by the Department of State, Division of Licensing Services are the only accepted locations for fingerprinting services for an applicant for a New York Private Investigator license. Private fingerprinting services (option A) may not be accepted or recognized by the state for this specific purpose. Federal FBI Offices (option B) may be used for certain types of background checks, but not for obtaining a New York Private Investigator license. Public libraries (option D) do not typically provide fingerprinting services. It is important for applicants to go to designated locations as stated in option C to ensure their fingerprints are accepted and their license application is not delayed or rejected.
