Out-of-State Background Checks for Child Care

Information regarding background checks for all individuals who have lived in other states during any part of the last five years and are seeking a child care license.

Step One: For each state/territory lived in within the last five (5) years, including the state you currently live in if not NH, click on the name of the state/territory below to view more detailed instructions.

Step Two: Download and complete the appropriate out-of-state forms for both the abuse and neglect check AND criminal background check. All forms are fillable, so individuals should type in their information, then print the forms.

Step Three: Review all forms to ensure they have been completed in full, and have been signed, dated, and notarized when required. Some states require a parent or legal guardian signature for anyone 18 years or younger, witness signatures, copies of photo IDs, etc.

Step Four: Submit all completed forms and required fees, if applicable, and additional requirements if noted, in one packet to CCLU at the address below. DO NOT send them to other states.

Step Six: Submit proof of submission to CCLUnit@dhhs.nh.gov, as well as the results once they are received. 

  • If an individual is completing a renewal BRC, please ask CCLU or the individual if they have already had out-of-state checks completed for previous residences. If they have, there is no need to resubmit the out-of-state forms.
  • CCLU cannot make a full determination on an individual's BRC submission until we receive the results from all background checks, or forty-five (45) days from the date that a complete submission was received, whichever occurs first.
  • States noted as "NFF States" participate in the National Fingerprint File, and are part of the Compact, which is the National Crime Prevention and Privacy Compact Act of 1998. Additional criminal background check submissions are not required for these states.
