Fingerprints & Background

Many Ohio employers, both public and private, are required to perform background checks on new hires and individuals obtaining professional licenses. The Attorney General's Office's Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation (BCI) completes such background checks by comparing fingerprints received against a database of criminal fingerprints to determine if there is a criminal record. All fingerprints must be submitted to BCI through WebCheck or card scan unless exemption reasons are met.

WebCheck

At this time, the Englewood Police Department does not have the capability to provide WebCheck fingerprinting services. We can provide you with a list of businesses that offer WebCheck. We can provide rolled/inked prints (must have a photo ID) on Tuesday and Friday between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. For Englewood residents or employment within the city, there is no charge. For all others, the charge is $15 per card. Local (City of Englewood) background checks can be done Monday through Friday from 8 until 4 p.m. and are no charge for residents. Photo ID required.
