Fingerprinting and Background Check Process

If you’re applying for an acupuncturist license in Missouri, one key requirement is completing a fingerprint-based background check. STL Fingerprinting in St. Louis is here to assist you with this crucial step, ensuring you meet the state’s requirements efficiently and accurately.

How to Complete the Background Check

To begin the background check process, applicants must register online through the Missouri Automated Criminal History Site (MACHS). You can access the MACHS portal at https://www.machs.mo.gov/MACHSFP/home.html. This website guides you through the necessary registration steps. For applicants without internet access, you can call MACHS customer service at 844-543-9712 for assistance.
