Conducting Criminal Record Checks in Georgia

Employees of private detective and security agency license holders in Georgia must be fingerprinted.

Before an applicant may become an employee of any daycare facility, a record check application--including fingerprinting--must be submitted.

Before an applicant may become an employee of any nursing home, a criminal record check must be requested from the Georgia Crime Information Center. A nursing home must not employ a person with an unsatisfactory determination.

Accompanying any application for a new license for a personal care home where residents reside, the applicant must furnish to the Department of Human Resources a records check application for the director and each employee of the facility.

Employers may require that new or current employees who supervise children submit to a criminal records check.
