The background check is a Level I National Screen that includes SSN and address verification, and checks against the following: National Criminal Database, National Sex Offender Registry, County Criminal Search, and Indiana Participating. This background check also includes the Arrest Alert program, which will notify HHSC of all arrests for active visitors.
You will be charged $14.95, payable with credit card, for this background check which will be valid for 2 years from approval date.
Please note - this process could take 3 to 6 business days, please plan accordingly. You will receive an email notification from “info@safevisitorsolutions.com.”
Temporary Visitors/Guests

- Parent/Teacher Conferences/Case Conferences
- Classroom/School Special Events (Grandparent’s Day/Veteran’s Day Program/etc.)
- School Programs
- Visiting school office area or dropping off items at the school
This group of visitors will not require the formal background check but you will need to follow regular school check-in procedures.
HHSC staff members will not need to complete this additional background check to visit district schools as they have already completed an advanced criminal background check for employment.
All approved visitors will have a picture taken at each visit and receive a badge that must be visibly worn at all times.
All visitors must return to the main office and check-out at the front desk.
Thank you for your support in keeping our schools safe.
