NC DHSR (Senate Bill 41) Background Checks

As North Carolina continues to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have learned numerous law enforcement agencies are adapting and/or changing their fingerprint availability, often on a weekly basis.  Due to various federal requirements, DCDEE cannot waive the requirement for fingerprints.  We encourage you to use the resources below to assist.

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.

The North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation has provided a resource to advise where they are in terms of processing fingerprints.  You can find that resource, and contact information here.  Thank you to the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation for their assistance in providing this information. 

 

Materials needed for NC DHSR Criminal Background Check

Submit a fingerprint to the SBI under the appropriate OCA Number (provided by the facility)

You can obtain fingerprints from an approved agency.

Once the SBI has provided the DCDEE Criminal Background Check Unit with results a Determination Letter will sent to the Facility and the applicant may be asked to complete either a DHHS-002 Form (this form must be obtained through the DCDEE Criminal Background Check Unit) OR Criminal History Record Information Form.
