Out of State Background Checks for Early Childhood Qualification (Colorado)

If you have not claimed residence in a state other than Colorado in the previous five years, you can skip this step and close this page!

If you HAVE held residence outside of Colorado in the previous five (5) years, then there are additional background checks that must be completed for Early Childhood qualification. There are several steps that must be completed as part of this process, so reach the below information carefully!
If you have already completed Out of State checks through the Colorado Department of Early Childhood or a CDEC licensed provider, you may be able to skip this step. Contact HelloSubs for more info.

There are two (2) additional checks to complete for EACH previous state of residence within the past five years:
  1. State Criminal History Check (SCH)
    1. This check is not required for states participating in the National Fingerprint File (NFF) program: Arizona, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Tennessee, Utah, West Virginia, and Wyoming.
  2. State Child Abuse and Neglect Registry Check (SCAN)
