WebCheck Fee Structure as of January 1, 2020
State (BCI) of Ohio WebCheck - $35.00
National (FBI) WebCheck - $35.00
State & National WebCheck - $65.00
If you are not sure as to which category of check you need, contact your employer, volunteer coordinator, or legal advisor for specific information. FBI (National) WEBChecks can only be completed for limited “official” purposes (e.g. licensing, government operations, schools) and cannot be used for employment in the private sector, such as apartment rental.
The Urbana Police Division can complete individual State of Ohio criminal history record checks using the WEBCheck system for ink-less finger-printing.
The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation (BCI) charges the Urbana Police Division a fee for each record check requested. In order to cover these fees and pay for equipment and annual software maintenance, the Urbana Police Division has established the WEBCheck fees as listed above and these fees are NOT NEGOTIABLE. Fees may be waived in part for other divisions/departments of the City of Urbana and other government entities.
WEBCheck utilizes the Internet to electronically transfer fingerprints and other data to the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) in London, Ohio. The fingerprints and information from an applicant’s Driver’s License or Ohio Identification Card’s magnetic strip are encrypted and electronically stored in the computer. The computer then sends the encrypted information over the Internet, which automatically compares the information against fingerprints and criminal histories stored in the Ohio Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) database. If you are a prospective employer or employment agency, and want the results mailed directly, instruct applicants to provide the Urbana Police Division’s record check clerk with your business mailing address, NOT the applicant’s address.
BCI sends the record check to the address provided, but no longer provides courtesy duplicates free of charge. If you require a second copy, you must pay for a second WEBCheck.
