Ohio Background Checks

The Ohio Department of Health, Vital Statistics is the main source for birth and death records in the state of Ohio. It does issue birth and death certificates for $21.50, but the office does not directly issue either marriage or divorce documents. For copies of these, the County Clerk’s Office where the marriage took place should be contacted, while for divorce decrees, the County Probate Court is the proper contact. You can, however, get help from this office in searching for the information leading to marriage and divorce documents that you may need in Ohio background checks.

The Ohio Department of Health, Vital Statistics office conducts searches to find the county and registration date for marriages and divorces for a fee of $3. The processing time for these searches, which may aid in Ohio background checks, is usually about 2-3 weeks.

Ohio Criminal Background Checks
The Attorney General’s Office, Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation (BCI) compares fingerprints received in Ohio background checks with those in a criminal database. The information is given out as a public records release only and is not to be considered as legal advice on individual cases. If the reason for your Ohio criminal background check is for something to be used for legal purposes, then you can contact the FBI directly to go through the fingerprint submission protocol.

If the Attorney General’s Office, BCI in Ohio finds a criminal record, the background check may take longer than usual to process as further checks may be required. Since the BCI uses a WebCheck system and the Ohio background checks are done electronically, the normal processing time may be as little as a few hours or a few days.
