Quick answer: An Ohio BCI fingerprint check reports Ohio criminal history records that are allowed to be released for the reason code used. What appears depends on Ohio law and your specific reason code.
Reason Codes Control the Report
Different reason codes allow different information to be released. A check for a school job may be handled differently from a check for another purpose.
Accuracy Matters
Fingerprint checks are tied to your prints, which helps prevent mix ups with people who share your name. If you believe a record is wrong, contact BCI about the process for challenging it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do arrests without convictions appear?
It depends on Ohio law and the reason code. Ask BCI or a qualified attorney about your situation.

Background check requirements, fees and processing times are set by Ohio BCI, the FBI and the agency requesting your check. Always confirm details with your employer or licensing board.
