Hour to conduct background checks and fingerprints are Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:00AM and 4:00PM.
Criminal Background Checks
The sheriff’s office is glad to assist with criminal history background checks through the State of Georgia only. If a more comprehensive background check is required, such as one that would require fingerprint card submissions, you would need to contact an outside company that offers such a service.
Criminal history background checks are $20 each, cash only. The service is normally performed while you wait, providing the state computer system is online.
We can process G.C.I.C. (Georgia Crime Information Center) Criminal History requests for the following reasons:
[ ] E (General Background Check**)
[ ] M (Employment w/ Mentally Disabled**
[ ] N (Employment w/ Elder Care **
[ ] W (Employment w/ Children**)
[ ] P (Public Records) **provides Georgia Felony Convictions only**
Criminal History requests must be made in person and can only be picked up by the person requesting it and you must have a valid consent form completed and a copy of your photo id
Fingerprint Services
Fingerprints may be required for many different reasons. Our department is only able to provide fingerprints card. The cost of a set of fingerprints is $20.
If you need to be fingerprinted electronically which includes a nationwide background check please advise the requesting company that they need to register online or by calling GCIC Applicant Services at 404-270-8417. Law Enforcement agencies can no longer give out criminal history record checks obtained through fingerprints to agencies for non-criminal justice purposes.
