Childcare Screening Fingerprints

Child care centers, family child care homes, preschools and similar programs in Ohio commonly require background checks for staff and sometimes for other adults in the home. Both state and federal checks are typical, and many programs have rules about recheck intervals.

Ask your employer or licensing contact which reason code to use and where results must be sent, since child care results usually need to reach the program or the licensing agency directly. Do not begin working with children until you are cleared. Keep your receipt and note when your next recheck may be due.

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.
