Background Check Central Unit FAQs
BCCU runs background checks for DSHS programs and authorized service providers who serve vulnerable adults, juveniles, and children in Washington. At this time, BCCU does not conduct background checks for entities that are not licensed or contracted through DSHS.
If your entity does not currently use BCCU to run your background checks, but believe they should, please contact BCCU at bccuinquiry@dshs.wa.gov so that we can direct you to the appropriate program contact.
The applicant may request a copy of their BCCU results from the entity that requested the background check or by sending a completed Request for Background Check Information Form to BCCU to bccuinquiry@dshs.wa.gov. Due to confidentiality reasons, BCCU cannot discuss the results over the phone with the applicant until the applicant has received their results. The applicant will need to have the results readily available when they contact BCCU to discuss the information.
