Question: Is The WebCheck® program as good as the traditional tenprint card.

Answer:

The answer to this question is straightforward. Yes. WebCheck is as good as the conventional ink-rolled cards and, in many cases, better. Results of civilian background checks requested using ink-rolled cards could take up to 30 days to return by mail. With WebCheck®, NO-HIT results are electronically transmitted within two business days. WebCheck is designed to provide users with fingerprint image quality checks prior to transmission. This process eliminates the delays encountered if the traditional tenprint cards were submitted with poor quality or unreadable prints. The WebCheck® program is accurate, reliable, and efficient. And the Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation supports and stands behind this innovation.

Question: How long does it take to receive results from a civilian background check through WebCheck®?

Answer:

Results are generally available within two business days. BCI often clears background checks sooner than the guaranteed two business days. However, when the background check finds a criminal record, BCI mails the search results via the US Postal Service. Therefore, in this situation, arrival of the results depends upon the mail delivery. FBI results generally take several weeks to return results.
