Subtitle: Why You Need a Background Check and What to Expect
Introduction Whether you are starting a new career in healthcare, applying for a professional license, or adopting a child, background checks are a standard requirement in Ohio. Understanding the process can help you get your results faster and without stress.
BCI vs. FBI: What’s the Difference?
- BCI (Bureau of Criminal Investigation): This is a state-level check. It searches the database for any criminal history within the State of Ohio.
- FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation): This is a national-level check. It uses a fingerprint-based search of the national criminal history database.
- Note: Many employers and licensing boards (like the Ohio Board of Nursing or Department of Education) require both.
The Process at Bright Care LLC We utilize “LiveScan” technology, which is a high-tech, inkless way to capture fingerprints. These are then submitted electronically to the state, significantly speeding up the processing time.
What to Bring to Your Appointment:
- Valid Government-Issued ID: A driver’s license, state ID, or passport.
- The Correct Reason Code: You must know the specific legal code (e.g., ORC 5123.169) required by your employer.
- Address for Results: Know where the results need to be mailed (e.g., directly to you or to a specific licensing board).
