Record Maintenance

If you have any questions, regarding this process, please contact the Background Check Department:

Individuals who do not have access to a computer or require assistance in registering should contact their pertinent parish, school, Archdiocesan entity or the Archdiocese of Miami directly for their designated coordinator.
