Employee Background Check Rate - $17.50 per request

MHCA offers this service to meet the requirements set by the State of Missouri for all facilities to conduct criminal background checks on their employees prior to hire.  Backgrounds are processed through the Missouri State Highway Patrol (RSMo Statute 660.317). Results are generally received within 24 hours unless the Patrol needs to perform additional searching (explained in “processing” status below). We offer an easy, online submission process that provides your facility with a standing online account where you can access backgrounds you have submitted with MHCA at any time. However, RAP sheets can only be printed for 30 days following the original date the results were returned. The Missouri State Highway Patrol only guarantees results for 30 days.  Therefore we are unable to provide the results past that time frame. If you need a RAP sheet for an individual and it has been over the 30-day limit, you will need to resubmit the background request for updated results.  Click HERE to view a spreadsheet of non-hirable offenses.

Account Set Up

To set up an online background account click HERE to complete an account request form.  Fill out the information and submit the request.  Within minutes you should receive an approval notice that you are ready to request backgrounds online. 

Payment

Background checks are billed on a monthly basis.

We accept Visa, MasterCard, and American Express.  MHCA can hold your card information on file to be billed on a monthly basis for all requests submitted.  If you choose to pay by credit card, you will receive an invoice each month showing payment in full.

Background checks will not be processed on any federal or state holidays. All requests will be processed the following business day.

Background Check Results will be shown as:

NO MATCH – there is no matching record in the Highway Patrol's database;

MAILED – there was a hit from the Patrol's database and you will receive the information through an email attachment; or

PROCESSING –the Highway Patrol is still searching the individual’s information. Results will be released to you when available.  Please note - due to staffing shortages at the Highway Patrol background checks in a Processing status are taking longer than typical to receive results.
