A reason code tells the state why your background check is being run and which laws apply.

Codes are usually tied to a section of the Ohio Revised Code for jobs such as teaching, nursing, child care or security work. The right code makes sure results go to the right place.

Pin Tip

Get your reason code from your employer or licensing agency and bring it to your appointment.

Avoid Delays

Using the wrong reason code is one of the most common reasons applicants have to be fingerprinted again.
