If you operate a residential child-care operation, child-care center, before or after-school program, school-age program, licensed child care home, or registered child care home you must submit background checks electronically through the Child-Care Regulation Account portal login page.

All other operations are encouraged to submit background checks using the online system, but may also submit requests using paper Form 2971, Request For Background Check. This form also may be obtained from and submitted to your local Licensing representative or your CBCU representative, who can be located on the CBCU Contacts page.

To submit a request for a background check request online:

• Login to your provider account on the Child-Care Regulation Account portal login page on the CCR website.
• Select 'Submit a Background Check' from the available actions and enter the information for the individual.
• Verify the information entered is correct, click the box verifying accuracy, and click the submit button.

If you verify that an applicant does not have a Social Security number, Driver’s License/State ID, or any of the Alternate Identification types available, you will not be able to utilize the electronic system and the background check for the applicant must be requested by submitting a completed Form 2971.

Notification of background check results are sent after they have been received and processed by CBCU.

If you have not received any results within seven calendar days of submitting the background and the subject of background check has been fingerprinted, or believe you may have made a technical error when submitting the background check contact your CBCU representative.

If there are questions about not receiving the results by email first look in the Junk or Spam mail of your email service to see if they are there. Many mail servers will filter email when there are mass mailings. You will need to signify that these are not Junk or Spam in order to receive notification by email.

If you have not received any results within seven calendar days of submitting the background and the subject of background check has been fingerprinted, or believe you may have made a technical error when submitting the background check contact your CBCU representative.

At this time, the Child-Care Regulation Account portal is not compatible with Microsoft Edge, Safari and many versions of Mozilla Firefox. Different browsers have different capabilities, and although these differences may seem minor, it's common for websites to work fine on one browser but poorly on another. For example, the Child Care Regulation Account portal allows the user to log in and attempt to submit a background check; however, when the user attempts to validate an address, the address validation tool pop-up window does not populate.

If you are having trouble submitting background checks, try using a different internet browser. See Changing Your Default Web Browser (PDF) for instructions to change the default web browser. If you continue to have problems submitting background checks, please contact your CBCU representative, who can be located on the CBCU Contacts page.
