Who Needs Employment Fingerprinting?

Legal Requirements
Pre-employment fingerprinting in Ohio is governed by ORC 109.572 for regulated industries and employer policy for unregulated ones. Employers must specify whether BCI only, FBI only, or both are required. Results go to the employer or the employer's designated agency, not to the job applicant. Under ORC 4112 (Ohio Fair Employment Practices), employers must follow specific rules on when they can ask about criminal history.
What to Expect
Your employer will give you their ORI number and may also provide a form or instructions. Bring those plus a valid photo ID. If your employer said to bring "blank FD-258 cards," we can supply them (or you can bring your own). We capture prints and submit to the ORI on file — results go directly to your employer.
Turnaround
BCI: 2–5 business days. FBI: 7–21 days.
Cost
BCI: $42. BCI + FBI: $67.

Frequently Asked Questions
My employer said to go to "any WebCheck provider." Can I come to you?
Yes. We are an authorized Ohio BCI WebCheck provider. Any employer that says "go to a WebCheck provider" can be served by our office.
Can I use a BCI check from a previous employer for a new job?
Generally no. The background check belongs to the employer who requested it and is tied to their ORI. Your new employer needs their own check done through their ORI. You'll need to be re-fingerprinted.
