Not registry lookups; ezOIG doesn't run these
  • Criminal records check in the state of residence, or the previous state if in NH under a year (He-M 504.03(g)(1)-(2))
  • Signed attestation of no convictions or findings in the years between checks (He-M 504.03(j))

  • Valid driver's licence for anyone who drives individuals (He-M 504.03(r))

Why some registries are not screened yet

The registry blocks automated access
The registry's website turns away automated lookups. We don't work around that, so for now your staff search it themselves.
Requires an employer account
Searches go through the employer's own account with the agency, so ezOIG doesn't run them for you.
Checked by request to the agency
The agency answers a written request or form rather than an online search.
