Fingerprinting

What Is Webcheck

Many Ohio employers, both public and private, are required to perform background checks on new hires and individuals obtaining professional licenses. The Attorney General’s Office’s Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation (BCI) completes such background checks by comparing fingerprints received against a database of criminal fingerprints to determine if there is a criminal record. All fingerprints must be submitted to BCI through WebCheck or card scan unless exemption reasons are met. WebCheck is an Internet-based program for civilian background checks. This program reduces the return rate of civilian background checks to as little as several hours.  In addition results can be mailed, printed and submitted to our internal encrypted system to expedite turn around

Why Would You Want To Use Webcheck

WebCheck scanner uses the individuals finger prints as the primary identifier for a background check . Ohio law requires background checks for perspective employees in certain job classifications. The advantage to using WebCheck is the speed in which you get the results back. Using WebCheck you can get a report as quickly as 1 day. When using inked print cards it may take up to 30 days or more to get your report.
