REVISIONS
TO THIS NEWS RELEASE AND RESPONSES TO QUESTIONS WILL BE POSTED BELOW.
Question
1: Are vendors required to accept
non-electronic methods of payment such as cash and money orders?
Answer
1: According to Paragraph 1.3.15,
vendors are required to accept payments by “credit or debit card, money order,
check, cash, or direct agency billing.” However, the DOI will accept a
proposal limiting payments to credit or debit card, money order, cashier’s
check, or direct agency billing. In other words, the DOI will allow a
proposal that prohibits payment by cash or personal check but not a proposal
that prohibits payment by money order.
Question
2: Is it a requirement that applicants
must be able to pay for services at the time of collection?
Answer
2: According to Paragraph 1.3.7,
“Individual applicants should also be able to pay for the service at the time
of fingerprint collection.” Therefore,
applicants must be able to pay for the service at the time of fingerprint
collection; however, in light of the above answer to Question 1, the DOI will
allow a proposal that limits the methods of on-site payment to money order and
cashier’s check.
