Fingerprinting & Background Checks for Leawood, Kansas

For almost every Leawood address the drive is the same: get onto I-435, cross State Line Road into Missouri and take the Bannister Road exit. Our office is just off the exit, so most of the trip is highway. From south Leawood along 135th Street, the slowest part is usually the drive north on Nall or Roe to reach I-435, so allow a few extra minutes.

Weekday mornings and late afternoons are the busiest times on I-435 near State Line Road. Many Leawood professionals book at lunch, mid-afternoon or on Saturdays between 10AM and 3PM, when the drive is usually quicker. Saturday slots fill first, so book ahead.

If you would rather not leave the office at all, our mobile fingerprinting service and on-site executive appointments come to Leawood offices and homes. Call (816) 442-0295 for a quote.

Hospitals and healthcare

Leawood has no hospital of its own, but several are minutes away. Saint Luke’s South Hospital and Menorah Medical Center are in neighboring Overland Park, and Saint Joseph Medical Center is just across State Line Road in Kansas City, Missouri. Nurses at hospitals like these who hold or are applying for a Kansas license typically need a Kansas Board of Nursing fingerprint card, which KSBN accepts from a private provider. We roll the card and sign the KSBN waiver as your technician on the same day.

Because these hospitals sit on both sides of the state line, many Leawood nurses and clinicians hold licenses in Kansas and Missouri, or work as travel staff licensed in several states. Multi-State Print-to-Card captures your prints once and prints a card for each board that permits it. Our healthcare fingerprinting page covers credentialing requests from clinics and practices.

Schools and colleges

Southern Leawood is in the Blue Valley School District, and northern Leawood is in the Shawnee Mission School District. Teachers and substitutes in either district apply for a Kansas license through KSDE, which uses its own preformatted FD-258 card mailed with a separate background fee. Bring the KSDE card and we roll it; our teacher and substitute fingerprinting page has the details. Leawood residents who teach across State Line in a Missouri district follow Missouri DESE’s process, which uses MACHS and IdentoGO, with a mailed card option only for applicants who live outside Missouri. That applies to many Leawood residents, since they live in Kansas.

Nearby colleges include Johnson County Community College and the University of Kansas Edwards Campus in Overland Park, and Avila University on Wornall Road in south Kansas City. Nursing and education students are often asked for fingerprints or an FBI record before clinical or classroom placements; see our nursing student fingerprinting page.

Employers and business areas

Leawood is home to the headquarters of AMC Theatres, Euronet Worldwide and the American Academy of Family Physicians. Executives, board members and corporate staff at headquarters like these sometimes need FBI records for international assignments or regulatory filings, while the city’s wealth management, brokerage and insurance offices generate requests for FINRA Form U4 fingerprints and insurance producer cards.

The office buildings along Tomahawk Creek Parkway, Town Center Drive and the 135th Street corridor house many smaller financial, legal, insurance and medical practices. When several people at one firm need prints, an on-site group session is usually easier than sending everyone across State Line.

Leawood employers in healthcare, hospitality, retail and professional services use drug testing for pre-employment screening and workplace policies. We offer 5 panel, 9 panel and 10 panel non-DOT testing, plus DOT drug and alcohol testing under 49 CFR Part 40 for companies with commercial drivers. Every collection follows chain-of-custody procedures with SAMHSA-certified laboratory analysis and Medical Review Officer review of non-negative results. Cost is $60–$99 based on services needed.
