Also required

Not registry lookups; ezOIG doesn't run these
  • Fingerprint-based TBI and FBI criminal check plus available juvenile records, with a criminal/administrative history disclosure form (Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 1240-07-10-.09(1)(b)); a transfer within 180 days of leaving another center can reuse it
  • Three non-relative references for the director at licensing (1240-07-10-.05)

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.
Not open to the public
The agency doesn't publish it. Only the agency, or employers it authorizes, can check it.
