After you submit your application, you will have the option to schedule an appointment with another company to take your fingerprints. Morpho Trust will provide fingerprinting to applicants using INkless, Indiana's Electronic Fingerprinting Network.  You can schedule an appointment to have your fingerprints done and can pay the state fee online.  Afterwards, you can come to the Bristol Police Department to submit your application and pay your local fee.

This entire process needs to be completed in 30 days or you will have to submit a new application.
