We are requesting that customers limit the number of guests that they bring with them. Please call 567-200-6839 or email crimhist@noris.org to schedule an appointment.

Make sure to bring your current ID (driver's license/passport), mailing address the results should be sent, as well as what ORC reason code should be used for both the BCI and/or FBI checks. FBI and BCI Web Checks have a specific reason code, a series of numbers and/or letters that define the reason you are being fingerprinted. Separate reason codes for the FBI and BCI are required for all Web Check fingerprinting. Please refer to the person or organization requesting the fingerprints for the code you need. The CJCC staff cannot assist in finding the correct code(s). Please fill out the request form ahead of time.
