Many Ohio licensing boards require a criminal background check as part of the application. If you are pursuing a real estate, insurance, or other professional license, you may need fingerprinting for Ohio real estate and professional licenses. Ohio Security & Investigations helps applicants in Youngstown and the Mahoning Valley complete WebCheck fingerprinting.

Licenses That Often Require Fingerprints

Real estate salesperson and broker licenses
Insurance and financial services licenses
Healthcare and counseling licenses
Education licenses
Certain contractor and security related licenses

Follow Your Board’s Instructions

Each licensing board specifies the type of check, the reason code or Ohio Revised Code section, and where results should be sent. Many require both BCI and FBI checks. Use the exact information your board provides so results are matched to your application.

Timing With Your Application

Some boards require results before an application is complete or before you can sit for an exam. Get fingerprinted early so the background check is not the last item holding up your license.

Keep Records for Renewals

Some licenses require new checks at renewal. Save your instructions and receipts so you know what to request next time.
