Effective Immediately
The Office of the State Fire Marshal (OSFM) is pausing its authorization permitting firms to initiate criminal background checks pursuant to RS 40:1664.8 for applicants seeking licensure for a property protection endorsement.
The OSFM Licensing Section is in the process of adjusting our procedures regarding the criminal history background checks and intends to issue a licensing memorandum with a revised process on or about Tuesday, April 8, 2025. Until such time as the licensing memorandum is issued all firms are directed not to authorize and/or direct applicants to utilize the IdentoGo processing system for any OSFM criminal background check.
We will continue to conduct background checks through IdentoGo and appreciate your understanding and patience as we strive to ensure the highest quality service.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact Marlene Aucoin, David McClintock or Theresa Raborn at (225) 925-4911.
