background check includes a Wisconsin criminal background check, a license and registry check from the Wisconsin Department of Health and Family Services (DHFS) and a professional

billed monthly. A check or money order must accompany all other requests. Multiply the fee amount times the number of requests to determine the amount to enclose. If appropriate, include

DHFS Caregiver fee in Amount Enclosed. Make checks payable to the Wisconsin Department of Justice.

Enter the complete name, sex, race, and date of birth for each individual being checked. Entry of social security number is optional, but please be aware that this number is one of the unique

criminal information on file at CIB. The form will be accompanied by public criminal history information if a record is found. Please allow 10 business days for the CIB record check and

reasonable mailing time by the postal service. Do not provide an additional envelope for Caregiver results. General Caregiver results will be returned to the address specified in the “Return request
