Welcome to the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare (IDHW) Applicant Data Entry Portal.

Please follow the instructions on the screens to complete the data entry for your background check request. You must have the “Provider Number” to start. The “Provider Number” is on the Applicant Background Check Instruction sheet the entity gave you to use this portal.

There are several screens in the portal, but they do not take long to complete. You must complete all of the screens before you submit your background check request to the entity for review. After the entity verifies your background check information, the entity may submit it to DHW. Upon submission of your background check to DHW by the entity, you will receive an email to retrieve your fingerprint and photo authorization form.Thank you for your interest in working with children, vulnerable adults, or people who receive health and human services.Fingerprinting scheduling:Now that you are logged in, you can schedule your fingerprint appointment or choose Walk-in or Mail-in options from the appointment scheduling page within the application.

Some offices offer limited walk-in services. See this week's office locations for walk-in services. Visit the DHW Criminal History Unit website for more information on Background Check requirements, FAQs, and additional information.
