Before applying for a Missouri bail bond agent license you must first complete electronic finger prints for a criminal background check. By submitting fingerprint records electronically the Missouri Department of Insurance can receive your criminal history results in days instead of months. These faster results means your Bail Bond license can be processed as soon as possible.

The Missouri Department of Insurance contracts all of their finger printing to L-1 Identity Solutions.
