Statewide Applicant Fingerprint Identification Services (SAFIS)

State and national fingerprint-supported criminal record checks available to authorized non-criminal justice agencies.

The SAFIS program was created to process fingerprint-based criminal record checks for authorized Massachusetts non-criminal justice agencies. This fingerprint-supported criminal record check returns information on arrests made in Massachusetts and possibly in other states. This type of criminal record check is done by matching the fingerprints of a person against fingerprints collected by Massachusetts and other states.
