I am going for my nys license for security guard. I have to be finger printed on the paper it says Federal prints and criminal backround check
I got arrested in 1994 didn't go to jail it was drop to a misdemeanor 6months probation. Will I be OK?

The misdemeanor conviction will show up, but as long as you listed it and was honest about the conviction on the application, a misdemeanor does not stop you from being licensed

Really OK now one more question am also going for my pistol permit in nys if I get my security license I should get my permit?

Yes get the permit, while most positions don't ask for them ( nor want them) many do, and it opens you up to a large amount of positions.

So on my fingerprint application circle yes :( it also states to write what I was arrested.for but also says for me to give proof of documents from the state it happen in the court all this crazy stuff. That was in 94 and in p.a
I don't have any paper work from back then. So I just state that in my letter when I submit my application from my fingerprints to albany?

Write a letter stating what the misdemeanor was and that it was from 94 and you don't have any documents. You can never go bad being honest.
