Arkansas criminal background check

by Tom Watson Marketing Manager

There are two ways to obtain background check in Arkansas. The first one is manual and the second one is electronic.

Manual Process:

If you wish to obtain your background check manually, you should sign the State Police form ASP-122. This form must then be notarized, and the cost for that is 20$. The completed form along with an addressed stamped envelope and 20$ is mailed to Arkansas State Police, Identification Bureau, 1 State Police Plaza Drive, Little Rock, AR 72209. The request will be processed and you will receive the results afterwards. This method is open to all persons who have written notarized release of the subject of the request. It may take 10 days to complete this process.

Electronic Process:

This way is open only to employers and professional licensing boards (hereinafter PLB) under Act 63 of the First Extraordinary Session of 2003. The employer or PLB is required to register with Arkansas State Police and have their application accepted and approved.  That approved application allows them to register for electronic internet service with the Information Network of Arkansas (INA), the internet access provider.  The employer or PLB is then required to complete information online and create passwords.  Upon completion of this process, the employer or PLB will be allowed electronic access to certain criminal history information. The employer or PLB will be required to have a signed release from the employee and must maintain that release in their files for three years.  If correct information is submitted, the results of the search may be completed in minutes.  If research is required, the response may take several hours to complete.

What information will my response contain?

Manual process: If the request is submitted manually, the report will show only felony and misdemeanor convictions for the State of Arkansas. FBI or other states’ criminal history information will not be released. The request checks by name against information that has been entered in the Arkansas Crime Information Center (ACIC) criminal history database.  The ACIC database is based on fingerprints submitted after an individual's arrest.

 

Electronic Process:  if the request is submitted electronically, the report will show:

-any pending felony arrests (charges pending in court where a disposition has not been entered)

 -any felony or misdemeanor convictions for the State of Arkansas

 - if the person is required to register as a sex offender (all levels - one through four)

If you do not have an online account with the Information Network of Arkansas, you can still mail in a request. The cost is $25.00 each. The pricing is:

$22.00 per Arkansas State name based check request

$11.00 per Arkansas State name based check request (volunteers)

$16.50 per National/FBI fingerprint based check request

$15.00 per National/FBI fingerprint based check request (volunteers)
