4. STATEMENT OF CRIMINAL RECORDS:

Tenn. Code Ann. § 62-11-112(a)(7) requires that all applicants provide a statement of all criminal records where the applicant has resided. Persons convicted of offenses involving fraud or theft shall not be entitled to licensure as a locksmith. Persons convicted of a felony offense, persons who have been convicted of offenses involving the illegal use, possession, sale, manufacture, distribution or transportation of a controlled substance, drug, or narcotic, persons convicted of felonious assault, persons convicted of a crime involving unlawful breaking or entering, burglary, larceny or arson; or persons convicted as a habitual criminal may not be eligible for registration, refer to Administrative Rule 0780-5-13-.02(8).

You must answer the following questions completely. Information you provide may not disqualify you for a license. However, all arrests or charges, regardless of disposition appear on record returns from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

If you answer yes to any of these questions, you are required to provide certified documents of the final court disposition or judgement with this application, including dismissed, suspended or deferred sentences, as well as, a written explanation of the events that surrounded the charges. If the court no longer has these records on file, you must obtain a letter from the judge or court clerk stating so.

Be advised: If you check "no" to any of the following questions regarding arrests or charges and there is an arrest record listed on your TBI or FBI report, your application could be denied for a material misstatement. Misdemeanor citations and charges for "bad checks", cases where you may not have been fingerprinted and booked but were required to pay court costs or fines, are reported to the TBI and FBI as an arrest. These charges must also be disclosed on your application.

Record Expungements: If you were told that a charge or arrest would be expunged from your record, and you would not need to report the charge as an arrest, you should verify with the court clerk or your attorney that the record was expunged and that you have "no arrest record" for the charge or arrest before completing your application for licensure. Failure to report charges or arrests that were not expunged from your record and are still listed on your TBI and/or FBI report could result in the denial of your application for a material misstatement.

Yes No

If yes, what state(s)? ______________________________________________________________

Common mistakes

Filling out the Tennessee In 1655 Locksmith Apprentice Application requires attention to detail. Applicants often stumble on common pitfalls, leading to unnecessary delays or even denials. Below are nine mistakes frequently made during this process.

  1. Incorrect Personal Data: The most straightforward details can cause complications. Providing incorrect information such as spelling errors in names or incorrect Social Security numbers can result in processing delays.
  2. Not Listing Previous Names: If you've used other names in the past and fail to list them, it may appear as if you're withholding information. Always ensure any previous or alternate names are disclosed.
  3. Omitting Employment Information: The application requires information about the locksmith company you will be employed by. Leaving this section blank or incomplete can void your application.
  4. Incomplete Criminal Record Disclosure: Not fully disclosing your criminal record, even if charges were dismissed or expunged, can be seen as a failure to provide required information. Verification through the TBI or FBI can reveal undisclosed histories.
  5. Failure to Provide Certified Court Documents: If you answer yes to any questions regarding criminal records, certified documents of the final court disposition must be included. Neglecting this can halt the application process.
  6. Not Including Additional Information: Any section that requires an explanation or additional sheets of paper often gets overlooked. This includes explanations for name changes or details about any criminal charges.
  7. Insufficient Documentation: Missing any required documents such as valid identification, fingerprint cards, or passport-style photos can stall your application. Each document plays a crucial role in proving your identity and eligibility.
  8. Forgetting to List All Locksmiths Employed by the Employer: This requirement is specific but essential for the application process. Neglecting to provide a comprehensive list can result in incomplete application status.
  9. Not Verifying Expunged Records: Assuming that expunged records need not be reported without verifying with the court can be a mistake. If the record still exists on the TBI or FBI report, it can lead to denial due to misstatement.

Avoiding these mistakes can greatly enhance the chances of a successful application. Carefully reviewing each section, double-checking entered information, and ensuring all required documentation is attached can streamline the process, leading toward your goal of becoming a licensed locksmith apprentice in Tennessee.

  • Double Check Personal Information: Always verify your personal data for accuracy before submission.
  • Disclose All Necessary Information: Complete transparency regarding past names, employment, and especially criminal records is crucial.
  • Submit Complete Documentation: Ensure every requested document is attached, from identification to certified court dispositions.

Being meticulous and attentive to detail will pave the way for a smoother path toward becoming a licensed locksmith apprentice in Tennessee.

Similar forms

The Tennessee In 1655 form, which is an application for a Locksmith Apprentice, shares similarities with various other professional and vocational licensing applications in structure and purpose. One such document is the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) application form. Like the Locksmith Apprentice application, the CPA form requires personal data, educational background, information regarding previous licenses, and a disclosure of any criminal history. Both forms scrutinize the applicant's background to ensure public trust in the professions.

Another related document is the Real Estate Agent License application. This document, similar to the Locksmith Apprentice form, necessitates personal information, details about any prior licenses held in other states, and a comprehensive criminal history record. Both forms are designed to vet candidates for positions of trust, where integrity is paramount, reflecting the importance of safeguarding public interest.

The Nursing License application is also akin to the Locksmith Apprentice form. It collects personal data, educational achievements, and requires a thorough background check including criminal history. Additionally, both involve the submission of fingerprints for the purpose of a detailed background investigation, underscoring the importance of ensuring only qualified individuals are allowed to serve in sensitive roles.

The Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) application shares similarities with the Locksmith Apprentice application in requiring personal details, past licenses, and a declaration of criminal history. Both applications serve to confirm the applicant's eligibility and suitability for roles that entail significant responsibility and public safety implications.

Similarly, the Contractor License application parallels the Locksmith Apprentice application in its requirement for applicants to disclose personal information, business affiliations, and criminal background. Both are regulatory measures to ensure that individuals engaged in these professions meet specific standards of professionalism and ethical conduct.

The Medical Marijuana Dispensary License application, while distinct in content, mirrors the structure of the Locksmith Apprentice application in collecting personal and business-related information, alongside a meticulous check of the applicant’s criminal background. The aim is to rigorously screen those entering sensitive areas of business, ensuring compliance with state laws and regulations.

The Pharmacist License application resembles the Locksmith Apprentice form in its demands for personal information, educational background, previous licensure details, and a clean criminal record. Both documents assess the qualifications and integrity of individuals in professions that have a significant impact on public health and safety.

The application form for a Private Investigator’s License also shares characteristics with the Locksmith Apprentice application, especially in the requirement for detailed personal information, employment history, and an exhaustive criminal background check. This process serves to maintain high standards within professions that deal with confidential and sensitive information.

The Teacher Certification application is another document that parallels the Locksmith Apprentice application. It requires applicants to provide extensive personal information, academic credentials, and to undergo a criminal background check, thereby ensuring that individuals in charge of educating the youth are highly qualified and of good character.

Last but not least, the Building Permit application, although primarily for construction projects, requires personal and business information similar to what is asked on the Locksmith Apprentice application. Both forms include checks to verify the applicant's credibility and eligibility, ensuring adherence to standards and regulations designed to protect public interest.

While each of these documents serves a different professional or regulatory purpose, they all share the common goal of thoroughly vetting applicants to ensure public safety, professional integrity, and adherence to laws and standards. Through collecting detailed personal information, previous licensure information, and requiring a clear criminal history, these forms help maintain high standards across various sectors.

Dos and Don'ts

When approaching the task of filling out the Tennessee In 1655 form, which is the Locksmith Apprentice Application, attentiveness to details and comprehensiveness in providing information cannot be understated. The nature of this documentation warrants a cautious approach to ensure accuracy and compliance with the Tennessee Department of Commerce & Insurance's requirements. Below, a list is presented to guide applicants through what should and shouldn't be done in the process of application completion.

  • Do read the entire application meticulously before beginning to fill it out. This ensures a comprehensive understanding of the requirements and instructions.
  • Do not leave any section incomplete unless it explicitly does not apply to you. In such cases, entering "N/A" (Not Applicable) is advisable to indicate that the question has been considered.
  • Do provide additional information on a separate sheet of paper if the space provided in the form is insufficient. Ensure that this information is clearly labeled with your name and the section it corresponds to.

  • Do not assume charges or arrests that have been expunged from your record do not need to be reported. Verification with the court clerk or your attorney is necessary before omitting such information.
  • Do ensure that all statements, answers, and information provided in the application are accurate and true to the best of your knowledge. Any false statement(s) or misrepresentation(s) can be punishable under Tennessee Code.

  2. You only need to list your most recent name. If you've used other names in the past, it's mandatory to provide all names you've gone by. This includes any maiden names, nicknames, or aliases used legally or informally.
  3. Past criminal records automatically disqualify you. While certain convictions, especially those involving fraud, theft, or felonies, may disqualify an applicant, not all criminal records will. Each case is assessed individually, and applicants are encouraged to provide additional context and documentation for consideration.
  4. Misdemeanor citations don't need to be disclosed. Any and all interactions with law enforcement that led to arrests or charges should be disclosed, regardless of the outcome or how minor they may seem, including misdemeanors for "bad checks."
  5. Record expungements are automatically updated in the system. Even if a charge or arrest was expunged, applicants should verify this with the court and disclose any expunged records if they haven't been updated. Assuming these records are gone could lead to an application denial for material misstatement.
  6. Previous locksmith licenses from other states are not relevant. On the contrary, having been licensed or registered as a locksmith or locksmith apprentice in another state is pertinent information and must be disclosed in the application.
  7. Your application can be processed without all required documents. The application must be complete and include all required documents at the time of submission. Incomplete applications will not be processed.
  8. Electronic fingerprinting is optional. While you can submit fingerprint cards, if you opt for electronic fingerprinting, it must still meet specific criteria outlined by the Tennessee Department of Commerce & Insurance and be completed by a qualified technician.
  9. Reading Tennessee's locksmith statutes and administrative rules is optional. Understanding and agreeing to comply with these statutes and rules is a critical part of the application process. Applicants must attest to having read and understood their responsibilities under Tennessee law.

Understanding these misconceptions and the truth behind each is vital for any potential locksmith apprentice in Tennessee. Taking the time to thoroughly review and accurately complete the application can help ensure a smoother application process.
