Requesting a Washington State Name Check

Do you need a name check for the state of Washington (USA)?

For example, because you're working with vulnerable groups, doing volunteer work, applying for a job that requires a background check, or requesting a visa? Then you may need a name-based criminal history check through the Washington State Patrol's system: WATCH (Washington Access to Criminal History).

Please note: this is only necessary if you’ve actually lived or worked in the state of Washington. This check only looks at what is registered about you within that specific state.

What is a Washington State name check?

A name check is a background search based on your full name and date of birth in Washington State’s criminal history database. It’s not a fingerprint-based check, but a faster and lighter version.
Sometimes it’s requested in addition to an FBI Identity History Summary.

When is this check required?

A Washington name check may be required for:

  • Working with children or elderly people
  • Applying for a job with an American company
  • Visa applications
  • Background or security checks
  • Volunteer work or professional licenses
