The Clermont County Sheriff’s Office can complete individual State of Ohio criminal history record checks using the WebCheck system.

WebCheck is a statewide Ohio record check, businesses and agencies will not have to obtain record checks from other Ohio counties; nor will applicants requiring a state record check need to visit our Corrections Facility to have their fingerprints taken by ink.

Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation (BCI&I) charges our agency a fee for each Ohio record check requested. In order to cover this fee and pay for equipment and annual software maintenance, we have established the WebCheck fees as listed above.   Payment is due at the time of service; only cash (exact change) or money orders (payable to 'Clermont County Sheriff's Office') are accepted.

WebCheck utilizes the Internet to electronically transfer fingerprints and other data to the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation (BCI&I) in London, Ohio.   The fingerprints and information from an applicant’s Driver’s License or Ohio Identification Card’s magnetic strip is encrypted and electronically stored in the computer. The computer then sends the encrypted information over the internet to BCI&I, which automatically compares the information against fingerprints and criminal histories stored in the Ohio Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) database. Once fingerprints and I.D. are scanned, our agency should receive results within 14-30 business days unless a “hit or match” is detected. If a “hit or match” is detected the results will be mailed directly from BCI&I to the address provided by the applicant. If you are an employer or agency and want the results mailed directly to you, instruct your applicants to provide our record check clerk with your business mailing address, NOT the address of the applicants.

NOTE: BCI&I sends the record check to the address provided by you, but is NO LONGER able to send a duplicate copy to your personal address free of charge.  If you require a second copy, you must pay for a second WebCheck.

Some persons wish only to have have an inked fingerprint card completed at our jail, then personally mailed the card to an employer or other agency. The cost for rolling inked fingerprint cards is $10.00 (cash, exact change) for each card.

For many employers local Clermont county record checks are all that is required. Though the Clermont County Sheriff’s Office does not provide local record checks, county record checks can be obtained through the Clermont County Clerk of Courts website without cost. Utilize the 'Case Access' link at their internet website to obtain Clermont County record check information. The Clerk’s website is http://www.clermontclerk.org. The Clerk’s Office website contains Common Pleas records back to 1988 and Municipal Court records back to May, 1996. If you need to research records before these dates you will need to contact the Clerk’s Office to perform a manual search.
