Michigan Out of State, Territory and Country Resource Guide
This guide is only for people who are required to have a background check for connection to a childcare facility in Michigan, and who previously lived in another state, territory, or country within the last five (5) years. This guide is alphabetized, and you will find "Out of Country" accordingly.
If you were emailed a link to this guide, it is because the CCBC Unit was informed that you lived outside of Michigan within the past five (5) years.
This guide contains instructions for the following people who need Out-of-State background checks:
- Applicants for a childcare license
- Licensees and Licensee Designees
- Program Directors, childcare employees, and unsupervised volunteers
- Adult household members of a home- based childcare
- Frequent or regular visitors of a childcare facility who fall under the definition of member of household
How long do I have to complete the Out of State Process?
The CCBC Unit is required to provide an eligibility determination within 45 days of receiving the fingerprint results. However, states are not penalized for working with applicants who require Out of State background checks and are also working with the CCBC Unit to complete those checks. That does not mean that the department will allow individuals to linger in an Additional Information stage.
Individuals will be provided with 45 days from the date this guide was emailed to them to provide completed results of all their required out of state background checks.
All out of state results must be sent to the CCBC Unit by email or fax:
WARNING:
• Although you have been provided with 45 days from the date we emailed the link to this guide, you must immediately begin the process of submitting the background check requests. Some states may take several weeks to provide results.
• Applicants who do not send their completed results by the date indicated on their letter will be made Ineligible due to Failure to Submit Additional Information.
• If you do not receive a link via email, the latest version of the guide can be found at: www.michigan.gov/ccbc under the Forms and Resources tab.
• If your form(s) are rejected due to updates made by the receiving state, follow the state(s) new process, and contact your CCBC Analyst.
• Do not submit Out of State information prior to receiving your Additional Information Letter. Information received prior to having had a
fingerprint result will not be retained by the CCBC Unit.
