Answer & full 3-part explanation (select an option above, or peek)
Why C is correct
ORC 3905.051 requires resident license applicants to complete a criminal records check covering both BCI and FBI records through National WebCheck. Under the Ohio Department of Insurance (ODI) examination and licensing process, the fingerprint fee is $72.25 and the background-check results are valid for 1 year, so an applicant whose application stalls beyond that window must be re-fingerprinted.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) $49 is the examination fee, not the fingerprint fee, and background-check results are valid for 1 year, not 2 years.
- B) The BCI and FBI check is required of every resident applicant, not only those who disclose a record.
- D) Results expire after 1 year; issuance of a license does not extend their validity.
Memory hook
Fingerprints cost $72.25 and fade after 1 year.
