Background Check & Driver Process

Thank you for your willingness to volunteer for field trips! This page is to guide you through the approval process. Each of our field trip drivers are required to complete a background check in order to drive other students. If you have questions at any time, please email backgroundcheck@lincoln-academy.org. 

Step 1: Fill out the Consent to Background Check document

Please complete the Online Consent Form. Keep in mind, the self disclosure section of the form is optional. If you prefer to complete a paper form, they are available in the Finance Office. 

The FBI Privacy Act Statement is included in the consent form but also listed below for reference, along with the Challenge Procedures.  

Step 2: Background Check Payment

The current fee for a background check is $56. 

For self-pay, please use the Online Payment Form below. 

Lincoln Academy will waive 5 volunteer hours applicable to the year in which you pay for the background check.

You may choose to have Lincoln Academy cover the cost of the background check if you agree to attend at least 4 field trips with your child, or as otherwise needed, within one year of your background check. For this option, please use the Downloadable Payment Form below and email it to backgroundcheck@lincoln-academy.org or bring it to the Finance Office. 

Step 3: Schedule For Yup Fingerprinting

After your signed consent form and payment have been submitted, you will be emailed the authorized paperwork and instructions for fingerprinting. 

To make your appointment, go to yupfingerprinting.com and scroll down to select the closest city (Lehi is the closest to Lincoln Academy), then select “Drive submission/Livescan” to choose a date and time. 

When you go to your appointment, you must take a photo ID and the authorized paperwork from Lincoln Academy. Lincoln Academy does not need any copies of these forms. 

Step 4: Fill Out Field Trip Driver Form

This step should be completed AFTER you have received notification from Lincoln Academy that your background check has cleared. Simply fill out the form below. 

Please note, this form will need to be completed prior to each field trip you drive for.
