Fingerprinting for Professional Licensing
Ohio licensing boards for fields such as nursing, teaching, real estate, counseling and many others commonly require background checks as part of an application. The board’s instructions usually specify the reason code and that results be sent directly to the board.
Read your application packet before scheduling. Using the wrong reason or sending results only to yourself can mean repeating the check. Keep your receipt and track when the board posts the results to your file. If you hold licenses in more than one field, ask each board whether it needs separate results.
What to Bring to Your Appointment
- A valid, unexpired government photo ID such as a driver license, state ID or passport
- The reason code or Ohio Revised Code section from the employer or licensing board requesting your check
- The mailing address or email where results should be sent
- Any FD-258 cards supplied by an out of state agency, left unsigned until you are with the technician
- Payment in a form the provider accepts
Which Check Do You Need?
BCI only searches Ohio records and is common for many state licenses and volunteer roles. FBI only searches national records. BCI and FBI is required for many teaching, health care, child care and professional licenses, especially if you have lived outside Ohio in the past five years. If you are unsure, ask the agency requesting your prints before booking.
How Long Results Take
Most WebCheck results reach the employer or applicant within one to four weeks. Poor print quality or a common name can add time. For delays, contact the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation at (877) 224-0043.
