You can come to the Sheriff’s Office and fill out a consent form. You may print the consent form from the website to complete and deliver to the Sheriff's Office. When you come to the Sheriff’s Office you must show proof of ID such as:

• Driver’s License
• Georgia Photo ID
• Social Security Card

If you live in Paulding County, there is a $10 fee. If you are not a Paulding County resident the fee is $20. However, if you work in Paulding County the fee is only $10 even if you live outside the county.

Have the employee fill out a consent form and have it notarized. Bring the consent form to the Sheriff’s Office and leave your name and a contact number with Reception. There will be a $10 fee for each employee. The Sheriff’s Office will contact you when the background checks are ready for pick up.

The criminal history record includes the subject’s identification data (name, date of birth, social security number, sex, race, height, weight, etc.), arrest data (including arresting agency, date of arrest, and charges), final judicial disposition data submitted by a court, prosecutor or other criminal justice agency and custodial information if the offender was incarcerated in a Georgia correctional facility.
