Ohio Board of Nursing Background Checks — What You Need to Know
If you’re applying for a nursing license or certificate in Ohio, the Ohio Board of Nursing (OBN) requires a fingerprint-based criminal background check through both the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). This process is mandated under Ohio Revised Code 4723.091 and governed by the procedures outlined in ORC 109.572.
At Quantum Digital Services, we specialize in fast, accurate, and fully compliant fingerprinting for nursing professionals across Ohio.
Who Needs a Background Check?
Under ORC 4723.091, the following individuals must submit fingerprints for a criminal records check:
- Applicants for nursing licensure under ORC 4723.09
- Applicants for nursing certificates
- Individuals reactivating or reinstating a license after 5+ years
- Retired nurses applying for a volunteer certificate
- Individuals subject to investigation by the Board of Nursing
Whether you’re entering nursing school, renewing your RN license, or applying for Multi-State Compact Licensure, this background check is a required step. - What Does the Process Involve?
- To comply with Ohio law, you must:
- Submit one complete set of fingerprint impressions to the Ohio BCI
