Federal Employee Fingerprinting Near West Milton, OH
Federal agencies, contractors, and applicants for federal positions require FBI fingerprinting as part of the OPM background investigation (Tier 1 through Tier 5). Unlike state BCI checks, federal investigations use the FBI Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) system with results going directly to the hiring agency — not to Ohio BCI. We handle federal FD-258 ink cards and electronic FBI submissions for workers from West Milton and Central Ohio.
