FBI Background Checks Through Ohio WebCheck in Columbus
In this article: An FBI check through Ohio WebCheck searches national criminal history using your fingerprints. 10-8 Protective Services LLC submits FBI requests electronically in Columbus.
Columbus attracts people from every state, so many employers and boards want an FBI check to see records beyond Ohio. Through WebCheck, applicants can request it alongside a BCI check.
National Records
The FBI check searches national criminal history records. It is commonly requested for applicants who lived elsewhere and for positions where law requires a national check.
How It Is Requested
Prints are submitted electronically through BCI, which forwards the FBI request. Your instructions should state whether FBI results are needed and where they go.
Timing
FBI results may take longer than BCI results. If you face a deadline, schedule early and keep your receipt.
Questions to Ask Before Your Appointment
Before you schedule, ask the organization that requested your background check whether it needs a BCI check, an FBI check, or both, what reason or code section should be listed, and where results must be sent. Ask whether electronic fingerprints are acceptable or ink cards are required, and who pays. Written answers make your appointment quick and accurate.
Tips for Clean, Readable Prints
Moisturize your hands for several days before your appointment, but skip lotion that morning. Drink plenty of water, remove rings if you can, and let the technician know about cuts, bandages, or calluses. Our technicians check print quality during capture and retake any print that does not meet standards before you leave.
