Fingerprint Background Check Near Mcconnelsville, OH
When someone says you need a fingerprint-based background check, it usually means one of three things: Ohio BCI only, FBI only, or both BCI and FBI together. BCI searches Ohio criminal records. FBI searches the national database covering all 50 states and federal records. Most regulated employers and licensing boards in Ohio require both. At our Mcconnelsville-area office, we submit both in a single visit so you don't have to make two trips.

Legal Requirements
Ohio BCI checks are authorized under ORC 109.572. FBI checks run against the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) database. A combined check gives the most complete picture of an applicant's criminal history. For regulated industries (healthcare, education, childcare), the specific statute governing the industry dictates which check is required. For private employment, the employer chooses based on company policy and the nature of the role.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between BCI and FBI?
BCI covers Ohio criminal records only. FBI covers all 50 states plus federal records. If you've only ever lived in Ohio, BCI may be sufficient for many employers. But if your employer requires "national" coverage, you need FBI as well.
My employer said they need "BCI and FBI." Can I do both in one visit?
Yes. One fingerprinting session at our office submits to both BCI and FBI simultaneously. You don't need to come back.
