The Marion County Board of Developmental Disabilities offers background checks to the community. Here are the details about this service.
What hours are available for background checks?
You can complete background checks any time between 8:00 am and 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, as long as a staff member is available to assist. If you need a background check completed, call our agency at (740) 387-1035 to confirm someone is available. MCBDD has only a select few employees who can administer background checks, so calling ahead may save you time and frustration.
What does it cost?
- BCI: $32
- FBI: $38
- BCI & FBI: $70
A BCI (Bureau of Criminal Identification and Information) background check can be completed for those who have lived in Ohio for the last 5 years or longer. The BCI background check is $32. If the person completing the background check has lived in Ohio for less than 5 years, an FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) background check must be completed. The FBI background check costs $38. Some companies may require both. If so, the total cost would be $70 for both. When paying for these background checks, please keep in mind that we can only accept exact cash and cannot accept checks or credit/debit cards.
What do people need to bring with them?
To complete a background check, the person will need to bring a valid driver’s license or state-issued photo ID, payment for the background check (if applicable), and a completed background check request form. If your agency did not provide a form, MCBDD has blank forms that can be completed immediately before the background check.
How do they get results?
Companies can request that background check results be mailed directly to them. If the person having the background check is an independent provider, then the background check can be mailed directly to them. Results typically take about 10 days to mail to the respective company or provider, but sometimes they take longer for various reasons.
