The Diocese of Virginia Background Check Request Form

The check will be initiated as soon as payment is received, but not before.

Please be sure the background check recipient is aware the background check has been initiated and is regularly checking for an email from Praesidium.

The diocesan offices process background checks for clergy licensing/transition, the ordination process, and diocesan staff. We do not process background checks for lay employees of churches.

If requesting multiple background checks, please complete this form once for each person.
