Welcome to the Criminal Background Check Unit

 

The following link will allow you to search law enforcement agencies by zip code and/or city and state. You will be able to search law enforcement locations that will fingerprint applicants electronically, and this process is referred to as livescan fingerprinting. If the LEA does not have a livescan device, a card will be printed and handed to the applicant to submit to DCDEE by mail.   

Map Livescan Locations (nbinformation.com)

The hard copy of the FD-258 fingerprint card will need to be mailed to DCDEE, who will forward to the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation, if you have applicants printed at any third-party fingerprinting location. Below you will find third-party fingerprint locations located throughout the state of North Carolina. THIRD PARTY FINGERPRINTING LOCATIONS DO NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO SEND ELECTRONIC (LIVESCAN) FINGERPRINTS TO THE NORTH CAROLINA STATE BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION.

 

Thank you to the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation for their assistance in providing this information.
