A “non criminal justice request for criminal history record information ” form is available at: http://www.ag.nd.gov/BCI/CHR/NCJRform.pdf.
A criminal history record costs $15.00 (or $5.00 for non-profit charitable organizations exclusively for the benefit of children or vulnerable elderly). Eligible non-profit charitable organizations must submit an Application for Reduction in Fee and be approved before receiving the reduction in fee. Checks or money orders should be made payable to the North Dakota Attorney General. Do not submit cash.
The request form must contain:
- The name of the requester;
- The name of the individual for whom the record is requested (the “subject”);
- The subject’s current address (unless the subject has signed an authorization);
And at least two additional items of information from the following list:
- the subject’s fingerprints;
- the subject’s social security number;
- the subject’s date of birth;
- a specific “reportable event” (i.e. arrest or conviction), identified by date and either agency or court;
- the state identification number assigned to the record subject by the BCI.
Most criminal history record checks are conducted using the subject’s name, date of birth, and social security number. To be sure the criminal history information includes all releasable information, it is important to include any maiden name, former name, or known aliases of the subject.
Unless a signed authorization form accompanies the request, the BCI will mail a notice to the subject that the criminal history record has been released. The authorization form can be found at: http://www.ag.nd.gov/BCI/CHR/Authorization.pdf
NOTE: This office does not routinely certify or notarize criminal history record check responses. Therefore, if you require a certified or notarized criminal history record check response you must request it in writing when you submit your record check request form. Questions related to obtaining an Apostille should be directed to the North Dakota Secretary of State’s Office.
