The Office of Background Investigations (OBI) has updated the way providers search for their facility name as part of our work to improve portal registration.
Providers who register for access to the OBI Provider Portal and receive criminal background fingerprint results from VDSS OBI can now search for their facility using only part of the facility name. You no longer need to enter the full facility name, but you must still enter the city, state, and ZIP code.

We encourage you to visit the OBI Provider Portal and register your account using this new option.
