Not all clearance cards are the same.

A non-IVP or Level 2 clearance card is generally used for roles that don’t require the higher level of screening associated with IVP, but still require a background check.

Even though it’s a different level, the fingerprinting still requires an online application with payment to DPS before coming in.

The fingerprinting will be:

✅Clear and readable
✅Properly submitted
✅Completed according to state guidelines
✅ Include the reference number from your application

Understanding the difference helps you apply for the correct card and avoid delays.

Applying for an IVP clearance card in Arizona? Here’s what to know:

IVP (Identity Verified Prints) cards are typically required for positions involving working with vulnerable populations, like children or certain healthcare roles. This type of fingerprinting also requires an application done ahead of time with DPS, so be sure you apply online, pay the fee and bring in your reference number.

The fingerprinting process must be:
✔️ Accurate
✔️ Submitted correctly
✔️ Done through an approved method
✔️ Have the reference number from the application included

Mistakes can delay your application significantly, so it’s important to get it done right the first time.

Why is faxing still used in 2026?

Even with email, faxing remains important for industries like:
Healthcare
Legal
Government

Why? Because fax transmissions are often considered more secure and compliant for sensitive documents.

If you ever need to send something official quickly and securely, faxing is still a trusted option.

Most people don’t realize there’s a big difference between a PO Box and a private mailbox.

A PO Box only accepts USPS deliveries.

A private mailbox, on the other hand, gives you a real street address and can receive packages from Amazon, UPS, FedEx, and USPS—all in one place.

This is especially helpful if you:
✅Run a small business
✅Order packages frequently and don't want them sitting outside
✅Want more privacy than using your home address

It’s a simple upgrade that gives you more flexibility and security with your mail.

Did you know some applications require both fingerprinting and secure mailing?

Instead of going to multiple places, you can often get both done in one stop.

This is helpful for:
🫆 Licensing applications
🫆 Background checks
🫆 Out-of-state submissions

Having your fingerprints done correctly and shipped securely reduces the chance of delays or rejections.

Efficiency matters when deadlines are involved.

Need a Level One (Non-IVP) Arizona Fingerprint Clearance Card? We can help!

At Power Pack and Ship, we partner with Arizona Livescan Fingerprinting Network to provide professional fingerprinting services right here in San Tan Valley.

**What is a Non-IVP / Level One Clearance Card?
A Level One (Non-IVP) Fingerprint Clearance Card is issued by the Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS) and verifies that you’ve passed a state and federal criminal background check.

This type of card is commonly required for:
• Real estate agents
• Insurance agents
• Certain healthcare roles
• Contractors
• Other professions regulated by the State of Arizona

(It is different from the IVP card, which is typically required for teachers and those working directly with children or vulnerable populations.)

**Important: You Must Register First
Before coming in for fingerprints, you must complete your application/registration through the Arizona DPS website and obtain your registration number. DPS will provide instructions and any necessary paperwork.
Bring that information with you to your appointment.

**How long does it take?
• Fingerprinting at our store typically takes about 10–15 minutes.
• Processing time through DPS generally takes a few weeks, depending on current volume. Your card is mailed directly to you once approved.

We’re proud to make this process simple and convenient for our community.
