What do I need to include with the Name
Check Request form if I am authorized to receive a federal check in
addition to the A:
If your agency has an ORI Number and is authorized to receive a
federal criminal background check on the applicant, you must submit to the GBI two(2) hard copy
FBI cards with your agency’s ORI Number and the applicant’s fingerprints on
the cards with the completed Georgia Name Request form. Q: How do I get fingerprints on the hard copy
FBI applicant cards? ·
Three (3) FBI Applicant Fingerprint Cards ·
Cover Letter to Local Law Enforcement ·
Self-Addressed Stamped Envelope with Agency’s Address The cover letter to local law enforcement should explain
that the applicant’s fingerprints have been rejected due to poor quality
through the Georgia Applicant Processing Services (GAPS) and the agency is
requesting the law enforcement agency to roll the applicant’s fingerprints on
the 3 FBI applicant fingerprint cards.
In addition the agency should request that the 3 FBI cards be sent to
the requesting agency in the self-address stamped envelope that has been
provided. Q:
What happens if the FBI rejects the fingerprints that were submitted
by GBI? A:
If the FBI rejects the hard copy fingerprints that were submitted by
the GBI for image quality, the agency is responsible for sending the FBI a
hard copy card with the applicant’s fingerprints. (Note:
This card should be sent directly to the FBI; do not send to the GBI.) If the agency receives a second FBI reject for the transaction
for image quality, the agency should follow the instructions for completing
the FBI Name Check Request. Q:
What information will I receive from the A:
If candidates are generated during the name search check and
the candidates are identified to an existing criminal history record, the
agency will be provided a copy of the criminal history record. If no record is
found, the fingerprint card will be stamped “No Record” and returned to the
agency. Q:
Is there a time limit for obtaining these A:
Yes. The name check request
must be submitted within 90 days of the last (second) rejection date. Q: Who can I contact if I have
further questions about the A: Please contact the GBI/GCIC Computerized
Criminal History Unit, at 404-244-2639, select Option 1 or 2 or
