Fingerprint Waiver

You must submit your fingerprints with your application so a criminal background check can be conducted as part of the character and fitness process. You must also submit a completed Waiver Agreement and FBI Privacy Statement with your fingerprints.

Your fingerprints and waiver affidavit must be filed before we will process your application. You may file it up to one year before your application is submitted.

Character and Fitness

Before you can be admitted to the Kansas bar or receive a temporary permit to practice, you must prove good moral character and mental and emotional fitness to practice law actively and continuously.
