We rely on both the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation (BCI) to process your fingerprints for possible matches to criminal activity. This process may be completed by scanning your fingerprints electronically, or manually by rolling each finger in ink and submitting on a card. Due to staffing levels, BCI will not provide a status update on fingerprints until they have been processing for thirty days. On the first workday following the 30th day, we contact BCI to see if we can expedite the process. In accordance with Ohio Revised Code 2923.125, if the results from the background check are not available, the license will be issued to you on the 45th day after your application is received.
