Notice to Applicant/Volunteer

Directions for Challenging a Criminal History Record

In the event you are determined not qualified to work or volunteer in a position that involves access to

children, the elderly or disabled you may initiate a personal review of a criminal record. Please

remember: you were fingerprinted for the position and the Central Criminal Records Exchange

(CCRE) of the Department of State Police has determined the fingerprints are identical to criminal

fingerprints on file at CCRE and/or the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and a conviction exists

which is a barrier to employment or volunteering services. To initiate a review of a criminal record,

follow these instructions:

CCRE – Criminal Record within the Commonwealth of Virginia

Report to State Police Administrative Headquarters between the hours of 8:00 am and 5:00 pm at

7700 Midlothian Turnpike, Richmond, Virginia and inform the receptionist you desire to challenge a

criminal record.

You must provide two forms of identification, one of which must contain a

photograph. Your fingerprints will be obtained and searched against the criminal record fingerprint

database and the criminal history record for the State of Virginia only will be reviewed with you.

Should you have a discrepancy either at the charge or final disposition level you must address it with

the contributor of the record or the court or arresting agency that submitted the record to CCRE.

CCRE staff will provide the necessary guidance and information to establish contact with a

contributing agency.

FBI – Criminal Record outside the Commonwealth of Virginia

Telephone the FBI, Special Correspondence Unit at (304) 625-3878 for instructions.
