South Carolina Criminal Background Checks
The Citizens’ Access to Criminal Histories (CATCH) program of the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) assists the public in criminal background checks. Fingerprint based South Carolina background checks are considered more reliable than name based searches. When a fingerprinting check can’t be conducted, for whatever reason, the name version usually can be, so SLED offers both types of South Carolina criminal background checks.

SC Background Check

In South Carolina, the law allows the public to perform criminal checks on nannies, volunteers and other persons. False positives and inaccurate criminal search results may be avoided if subjects’ names are spelled correctly and aliases are considered for searching. Each name searched by SLED has a $25 fee. For non-profit organizations and school districts, this fee may be reduced to $8.

If possible, the name and date of birth for the subject being searched in South Carolina background checks should be used from his or her valid, photo ID. The subject’s Social Security Number, if known, should also be provided to SLED for the search.
