Opening your home to a child or volunteering with kids and seniors is a generous step. Agencies want to protect the people they serve, so fingerprints for adoption, foster care, and volunteers are often required in Ohio. Ohio Security & Investigations helps families and volunteers in Youngstown and the Mahoning Valley complete their fingerprints in a friendly, private setting.
Adoption and Foster Care Fingerprinting
Adoption agencies and county children services typically require fingerprint background checks for prospective parents and, in many cases, other adults living in the home. The agency will explain which checks are needed and where results should be sent. Keep those instructions handy for every adult in the household.
Volunteer Background Checks
- Youth sports coaches and team volunteers
- Church and youth group leaders
- Mentoring and tutoring programs
- Senior care and hospice volunteers
- Scouting and camp programs
Making the Process Easier for Families
When several adults in one household need fingerprints, call ahead so appointments can be scheduled together. Each person should bring their own photo ID and a copy of the agency instructions. Coming prepared keeps the visit short and helps your home study or volunteer approval stay on schedule.
Privacy and Respect
Background checks can feel personal. Our team treats every applicant with respect and discretion. Your fingerprints are submitted electronically to the appropriate agencies, and results go to the organization listed on your request.
