Level 2 background check Level 2 background checks are a fingerprint-based criminal background check which includes in-depth investigation of an individual’s criminal history, credit report and other relevant public records, processed by the FBI's National Crime Information Center (NCIC). In the vast majority of cases, level 2 background checks are required for contract personnel who are permitted access on school grounds when students are present, or if they will have direct contact with students or have access to or control of school funds. By law, only certified law enforcement personnel can fulfill the fingerprinting process, as they must attach their police ID number to the fingerprint card. Oftentimes, school districts have their own set of requirements implemented into each contractor's RFP bids. They may require additional criminal background checks from local police departments where a subject has resided in their past. Out-of-State Live Scan As a result of many different procedures and processes for each state, Live Scan previously had to be completed in person because states do not communicate with other states. In 2013, many states started allowing applicants to submit FD-258 fingerprinting cards to registered live scan providers because the cost was found to be astronomically high, especially for travelling medical professionals who are required by law to be registered in each state they work in. ==References==
