The individual must submit electronic fingerprints that will be transmitted by the vendor to both the Ohio BCI and FBI in order to meet his statutory obligations. The Attorney General's website identifying electronic fingerprint vendors is: http://www.ohioattorneygeneral.gov/Services/Business/WebCheck/Webcheck-Community-Listing. * All individuals who provide electronic fingerprints are responsible for ensuring that the results are returned to the Environmental Background Investigation Unit. Processing time may take up to thirty (30) days. Be sure to account for this time when submitting fingerprints electronically. Individuals submitting electronic fingerprints must be sure to list the name and address of the Environmental Background Investigation Unit on the fingerprint form which they provide to the electronic fingerprint vendor.
