Who must designate the person taking fingerprints in writing?

  1. The local police department

  2. The qualifying licensee

  3. The Department of State

  4. The employee being fingerprinted

The correct answer is: The qualifying licensee

The qualifying licensee must designate the person taking fingerprints in writing. This is part of the process for obtaining a license from the Department of State, and it ensures that fingerprints are taken by a qualified and authorized individual. Option A, the local police department, may be involved in the fingerprinting process, but they do not have the authority to designate the person taking fingerprints. Option C, the Department of State, is responsible for issuing the license and may have a role in the designation of the fingerprint taker, but they are not the ones specifically referenced in the question. Option D, the employee being fingerprinted, is not responsible for designating the person taking their fingerprints, as they do not have the authority or knowledge to do so.
