Background Check timing is approx. 3-5 weeks from the date of submission of fingerprints. We have no control over the processing time.
- If in-state, that is the date you had fingerprints done via LiveScan;
- If out-of-state that is the date our office receives, then mails your cards to NCSBI for processing.
The NCBDN office will NOT have any update on your application during this time as the process is in the hands of the NCSBI. Once results are received by our office, we will process them as expeditiously as possible (typically same-day of receipt) and you will receive an email from gateway@ncbdn.org when your application has been approved. Please make sure gateway@ncbdn.org is not sent to junk/spam.
Our staff cannot process your Criminal Background Check results if you have not uploaded a signed and dated Electronic Fingerprint Submission Release of Information form (if in-state) or the Authority to Release Information form (if out-of-state) and you have paid all application fees.
