Hungarian Village · Columbus Metro
Why this Biometrics Services page is written for Hungarian Village
Hungarian Village sits in Columbus Metro, home to Ohio State University, Nationwide Insurance, JPMorgan Chase operations, and the rapidly growing Intel Ohio One semiconductor campus in Licking County. Franklin County, where Hungarian Village is located, is a rural town where vital records mean a trip to the courthouse and federal matters mean a drive to the metro.
Across Columbus Metro, the most common reason for a live scan is a state-required BCI or FBI background check for a new job, license renewal, or volunteer role. Hungarian Village clients come in with their request details, and we handle the electronic BCI and FBI WebCheck capture and submission in a single appointment.
a community where Somali, Arabic, Spanish, French, and Nepali are spoken every day across schools, workplaces, and houses of worship — and Hungarian Village, with a population near 1,500, reflects that mix in its schools, workplaces, and houses of worship.
most clients reach our Morse Rd office by jumping on the I-270 outerbelt and exiting at Cleveland Ave or Route 161. From Hungarian Village (ZIP 43206), the trip is roughly 8 miles each way.
Hungarian Village sits about 8 miles away (~16 min), close enough to handle a same-day electronic background check without a return trip. We also serve families across the rest of Columbus Metro, where many of our Hungarian Village clients have relatives, coworkers, and shared community ties.

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. We capture prints electronically and submit to the ORI on file — results go directly to your employer.
Turnaround
BCI: 2–5 business days. FBI: 7–21 days.
Cost
Live Scan WebCheck — BCI only: $40, FBI only: $40, or BCI + FBI together: $80. Cash or card accepted.

How Employment Fingerprinting Works in Hungarian Village
Three simple steps — most visits are finished in 15 to 20 minutes.
Come In Prepared
For employment or licensing fingerprinting, bring valid government-issued photo ID and the requesting organization’s written instructions: the specific reason for the check, required BCI/FBI reason code (Ohio Revised Code section), whether BCI, FBI, or both are required, and where results must be sent. If the reason or code is missing, obtain it from your employer or licensing agency before visiting. An ORI or routing number does not replace the reason code.
We Capture Your Prints
We capture all ten fingers electronically on a certified Ohio BCI WebCheck Live Scan device. Because the scanner grades each impression for quality in real time, any low-quality finger is re-scanned on the spot. There are no inkpads, no smudges, and nothing to mail back and forth.
Results Are Delivered
Same-day service means fingerprint capture and submission. Ohio BCI and the FBI process the background checks separately; result timing varies and is not guaranteed.
Accepted Forms of ID
Ohio BCI and the FBI require at least one current, unexpired, government-issued photo ID that shows your name, date of birth, and a clear photograph. The name on your ID must match the name on your application exactly. Expired IDs, photocopies, and digital photos of an ID are not accepted. If your legal name has changed, bring documentation (marriage certificate or court order) connecting the two names.
Primary Photo ID (bring one)
- ✓Valid U.S. state driver's license or state ID card
- ✓U.S. or foreign passport (or passport card)
- ✓U.S. Permanent Resident Card (green card)
- ✓U.S. military ID (CAC) or dependent ID
- ✓Employment Authorization Document (EAD, Form I-766)
Secondary Documents (if asked)
- ✓Social Security card
- ✓Certified birth certificate
- ✓Voter registration card
- ✓U.S. visa or I-94 arrival record
- ✓School or employer photo ID
Why Fingerprints Get Rejected — and How We Prevent It
Electronic Live Scan grades each finger for quality the moment it is captured, so a weak print is caught and redone during your visit rather than weeks later by mail. In the rare case Ohio BCI or the FBI sends a submission back, we re-capture your prints at no additional service charge. We also condition dry or worn fingertips beforehand to give you the best chance of an accepted scan the first time.
Most common rejection causes
- •Worn, dry, or faint ridge detail, which is common with manual labor, age, or certain medications
- •Too much finger pressure or movement during the scan, something our real-time quality check flags on the spot
- •An incorrect or mistyped ORI that routes results to the wrong agency
- •A name or date of birth that does not match the application
- •Cuts, bandages, or temporary skin conditions on the fingertips
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.
How far is your office from Hungarian Village?
Our office at 3185 Morse Rd, Columbus is approximately 8 miles from Hungarian Village — typically a 16-minute drive depending on traffic. Most Columbus Metro clients combine the trip with errands in Columbus. Walk in Monday through Saturday 10am to 6pm, or Sunday 10am to 4pm.
Can Hungarian Village residents walk in without an appointment?
Yes. We accept walk-ins every day: Monday through Saturday 10am to 6pm, and Sunday 10am to 4pm. Hungarian Village clients regularly drop in on lunch breaks, after work, or on weekends. The fingerprinting itself takes 15–20 minutes.
What is the difference between an Ohio BCI check and an FBI check?
An Ohio BCI (Bureau of Criminal Investigation) check searches Ohio criminal records only. An FBI check searches the national database, which covers all 50 states and federal records. Many Ohio employers and licensing boards ask for both, the combined "BCI and FBI" check, to get complete coverage. We can submit one or both in a single visit, according to the required reason code and requesting agency instructions.
How much does fingerprinting cost, and is the state check priced separately from the federal check?
Our pricing is flat and easy to follow. A BCI-only Live Scan WebCheck is $40, an FBI-only check is $40, and a combined BCI and FBI submission is $80. We tell you the exact total before we capture your prints, with no hidden charges and no surcharge for paying by card.
Do I need an appointment, or can I just walk in?
You are welcome to walk in. Stop by our Hungarian Village-area office at 3185 Morse Rd, Suite 15, Columbus any day we are open: Monday through Saturday 10am to 6pm, and Sunday 10am to 4pm. Most visits wrap up in 15 to 20 minutes. If you are bringing a group of employees, a quick call ahead lets us keep your wait short.
Can my results be sent to more than one employer or agency?
Bring each organization’s written instructions. Available direct-copy and mailing options depend on the type and purpose of the check. Do not assume an existing result can be reused for another employer; confirm the requirements before requesting another submission.
Can I get a copy of my own fingerprints or background-check results?
Results are delivered according to the instructions for the authorized check. Personal FBI records use the separate FBI Identity History Summary process; Ohio BCI cannot process an FBI WebCheck request for personal use or immigration. Contact the FBI for those instructions and call us before visiting to confirm service availability.
What if my fingerprints get rejected?
Electronic Live Scan flags a low-quality print in real time, so we re-capture it during your visit. In the rare case Ohio BCI or the FBI still returns a submission, we re-capture your prints again at no additional service charge.
How long are my results valid?
That depends on the requirement. Many Ohio licensing boards and employers treat a background check as valid for a set window, often one year and sometimes longer, and ask for a fresh check after that or when you change employers. Your board or HR department sets the validity period. The fingerprints themselves do not expire, but the check tied to them does.
