Mississippi DPS says its online name-based background-check service may take up to thirty calendar days and currently charges $32 per request.

Steps

Prepare a Mississippi request

Confirm the permitted requester

Read the current warning before submitting.

Enter identifiers exactly

The service asks for identifying information from the requester.

The individual still submits their own request, but may authorize release of the result to a named third-party recipient. Prepare that recipient’s name, street address, city, state and ZIP, plus a fax number if fax delivery is selected. If fax transmission fails, DPS mails the result to the supplied address. This release option does not let an employer or another third party submit the request for you.

Allow for the stated processing window

Do not promise an instant result.

Keep the response source-specific

Describe it as a Mississippi DPS background-check response.

For questions about this background check, call Mississippi DPS at 601-933-2600. Medical Cannabis Background Checks are excluded from this site and must follow Mississippi State Department of Health instructions; use the separately authorized process for any other mandated screening.
