Getting Ready for Your Girard Visit

The most important item is an unexpired government photo ID whose name matches your application. Equally useful are the employer or agency instructions, which usually show the reason for the check, which checks to run, and where to send results.

Know whether you need BCI, FBI or both before you arrive. If results should be mailed to an agency, bring its full name and address. Ask in advance about accepted payment methods. Arriving with clean, moisturized hands also helps the scanner capture clear prints the first time. A short call to the provider beforehand can confirm whether an appointment is needed or walk in visits are welcome.

What to Bring to Your Appointment

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.
