How much does a background check cost and where do I send the money and application documentation?
Effective October 1, 2007, the initial cost of a new application is $79.25 which includes $25 for processing the application and $54.25 for processing both state and federal finger prints. A $25 verification fee applies only to an existing background check for purposes of verification of clearance. The $25 application and verification fees are waived for unpaid volunteers, for applicability requirements please see 7 AAC10.910(b)(6), or if you have questions contact the state program overseeing your entity. The check should be made out to State of Alaska; the check with all required application documentation should be mailed to: DHSS/BCU 619 E.
