Quick answer: Use LiveScan through Ohio WebCheck for most Ohio employment and licensing checks. Use FD-258 ink cards when an out of state or federal agency asks for mailed fingerprint cards.
LiveScan
Fast, electronic and checked for quality before submission. Best for Ohio BCI and FBI checks requested by Ohio agencies.
Ink Cards
Required by many out of state licensing boards and some federal programs that need FD-258 cards mailed to them.
Not Sure?
Ask your requesting agency which method they accept. Ohio Security & Investigations offers both.
