Click on the “My Products” button and then the “Activate Background Checks Membership” button. Click Next. If you already have a Protect My Ministry account, you will click next. Otherwise, you will need to follow the prompts. Most churches and organizations will choose volunteer. Here we see the standard fields for entering our name, email address, city, and so forth.
Please make sure that in the name fields you put a person's name. This is not the area for your organization's name, and any incorrect information will cause your application to be delayed. When you are done filling in your information, click Next. Here we see an explanation of your subscription and what is included.
Clicking this dropdown allows you the choice on paying either monthly or yearly for your subscription. If you want, you can also run credit reports. This is uncommon to do so, and as you can see, it requires additional fees and paperwork, as well as a physical inspection of your location.
Clicking No resets this area back to the default. Click Next. Here we see an explanation of the state and county background check fees, a link to view a map with recommendations and up-to-date mandatory background fees for each state and county.
You can also choose to prepay for your background checks. As you can see, the more you prepay, the better the discount. Click Next. Here is where you enter your billing information. You can pay either by credit or electronic check. Once you have filled in your billing information, click Next. Here are three disclaimers that you can read through, then check that you agree. And finally, click on Submit. Keep in mind that it can take up to four business days for your application to be processed, and that you will most likely receive a phone call from our partners at Protect My Ministries to give you more in-depth information and answer any questions that you may have.
