Fingerprinting Options
There are two options for completing th
e background checks:
OPTION 1 – Ohio Fingerprint Services (Approximate Processing Time: 2 Weeks)
The State Medical Board of Ohio recommends electronic prints when possible. If you are located in Ohio
or can make yourself present in Ohio, you must submit electronic prints via the national Webcheck
Program. An approved Ohio WebCheck facility can be located at
https://www.ohioattorneygeneral.gov/backgroundcheck. Once you have located a Webcheck facility near
you should:
1. Call the facility to schedule an appointment and verify requirements for fingerprinting at that
location. Generally, you will need:
a. A valid, government-issued photo ID
b.
Form of pay
ment
c.
Reason for fingerprinting. You must provide the correct ORC # (see above for
appropriate ORC # for the license being applied for).
2. Have the Webcheck facility select “direct copy” from the dropdown box for the State Medical
Board of Ohio, located at 30 East Broad Street, 3rd Floor, Columbus, OH 43215.
OPTION 2 – Out-of-State Fingerprint Services (Approximate Processing Time: 4 Weeks)
If it is not possible to appear in Ohio for electronic fingerprinting through WebCheck, the board
recommends using FastFingerprints to complete the fingerprinting. FastFingerprints offers two methods
to submit fingerprints:
A. If there is a FastFingerprints location in your area, you can have your fingerprints taken
electronically at the location. Search for locations at
http://www.nationalbackgroundcheck.com/background-check-locations.htm. If you choose this
method, you should:
1. Visit the location to have the fingerprinting completed in electronic form
2. Fax or email the completed FastFingerprints form as instructed on the form. You must
provide the correct ORC # on the top section of the form (see above for
appropriate ORC # for the license being applied for).
B. If there is no FastFingerprints location in your area, you will have to mail two completed inked
fingerprint cards to FastFingerprints. To complete the fingerp
rinting via this method, you should:
1. Contact an entity that can perform ink fingerprinting and verify requirements for
fingerprinting at that location. Ink fingerprinting can be completed by most local law
enforcement agencies. Generally, you will need:
a. A valid, government-issued photo ID
b. Form of payment
c. Reason for fingerprinting (see above for appropriate ORC # for the
license being applied for).
2. Complete the ink fingerprinting of two cards at the location. You must provide the
correct ORC # on the fingerprint cards in the "reason fingerprinted" box (see
above for appropriate ORC # for the license being applied for). See example
below.
3. Complete the FastFingerprints form. You must provide the correct ORC # on the
top section of the form (see above for appropriate ORC # for the license being
applied for).
4. Mail the two ink printed FBI cards and the FastFingerprints form to the address
indicated on the form.
FBI Card Example
Complete the top portion of the FBI fingerprint cards. It is permitted to ink print on FBI cards
printed on standard paper, but some locations may require you to use cards of their own.
