Does Ohio law require us to have a criminal background check?
Yes, for you, your spouse and any other adult household member. The Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation (BCII) requires that all requests for Ohio civilian background checks be submitted electronically through the use of WebCheck or other approved methods. It will take approximately 30 days to get results. There are more than 400 WebCheck locations now available to persons seeking background checks. You may go to the location nearest you to have your fingerprints scanned. These locations are listed by county on the Ohio Attorney General’s Web site at http://www.webcheck.ag.state.oh.us/webcheckcommunity.htm.
