Applicants can now create an Interstate Background Check (those seeking to work in child care in another state) with ABCMS.   This request does not require fingerprints and is not valid to work in any North Carolina child care facility. 

DCDEE has developed a user guide that you can find here. All background checks require an individual NCID.  We have a created a Job Aid to assist applicants in obtaining one.

The information below will assist North Carolina applicants who have lived out of state in the preceding five years.  Note that state information changes regularly; in addition to this information, utilize the state links to confirm information including required forms, costs, and procedures. 

Keep copies of everything submitted to submit to CBC as evidence of your background check application. When uploading out of state documents to ABCMS, please contact the Unit once documents are uploaded.
