ACES Fingerprinting Services provides convenient, fast, and accurate fingerprinting services. Whether required to be fingerprinted by a government agency or for employment, our trained staff will ensure that your paperwork is in order, take fingerprints, process the request, and have you on your way in no time.

As of 7/26/2021, ACES has implemented the new State of Connecticut Criminal History Request System (CCHRS). All applicants must register with the CCHRS program before coming in to be fingerprinted. ACES will be charging a $25 service fee at the time of your appointment. 

The website to CCHRS for pre-enrollment is: PreEnrollment (idemia.io)

Your employer must provide you with their agency/district Service Code, in order for you to pre-enroll and receive an “Applicant Tracking Number,” which is required for fingerprinting. Upon entering your information, an “Applicant Tracking Number” will be provided. Please keep track of your Applicant Tracking Number, as this will be REQUIRED for your fingerprinting appointment.
