What are the different methods used in obtaining criminal history background checks by the SBI for agencies?
The first method is the State Name Check. This is a name-based identification. The second method is the State Fingerprint Check. This is a fingerprint-based search of only North Carolina criminal history records. The third method is a National Fingerprint Check. This is also a fingerprint-based search which is a nationwide search of the FBI's criminal history records.
These options are not public record.
To obtain any of these options there must be a North Carolina General Statute in place and an access agreement must be signed and on file at the SBI.
What information will I receive on my employees/applicants if I do a criminal history background check with the SBI?
The only records maintained at the SBI are those supported by fingerprints. Once an individual is arrested and fingerprinted, the fingerprints are then forwarded to the SBI and entered into the Computerized Criminal History database along with the arrest information.
I am trying to become licensed as a doctor or nurse and I need to inquire about the status of my criminal history background check. How do I do this?
You must contact the appropriate state licensing agency. Please do not contact the SBI for a status check.
