Question:
Will pending DUI charges appear on a Federal Background Check?
Answer:
The FBI website gives a very detailed reply to this question. A quick review of the material on the site says that it includes data on arrests. You can also request a background check yourself and see what appears on it.
See: http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/identity-history-summary-checks.
They explain provide the following:
An Identity History Summary—often referred to as a criminal history record or a “rap sheet”—is a listing of certain information taken from fingerprint submissions retained by the FBI in connection with arrests and, in some instances, federal employment, naturalization, or military service.
If the fingerprints are related to an arrest, the Identity History Summary includes name of the agency that submitted the fingerprints to the FBI, the date of the arrest, the arrest charge, and the disposition of the arrest, if known to the FBI. All arrest data included in an Identity History Summary is obtained from fingerprint submissions, disposition reports, and other information submitted by agencies having criminal justice responsibilities.
The U.S. Department of Justice Order 556-73 establishes rules and regulations for the subject of an Identity History Summary to obtain a copy of his or her own record for review. The FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Division processes these requests.
Who May Request a Copy of an Identity History Summary (or Proof That an Identity History Summary Does Not Exist)
Only you can request a copy of your own Identity History Summary.
Individuals typically make this request for personal review, to challenge the information on record, to satisfy a requirement for adopting a child in the United States or internationally, or to satisfy a requirement to live, work, or travel in a foreign country (i.e., police certificate, letter of good conduct, Identity History Summary check, etc.).
Background Checks for Employment or Licensing
If you are requesting a background check for employment or licensing within the U.S., you may be required by state statute or federal law to submit your request through your state identification bureau, the requesting federal agency, or another authorized channeling agency. You should contact the agency requiring the background check or the appropriate state identification bureau (or state police) for the correct procedures to follow for obtaining an FBI fingerprint background check for employment or licensing purposes.
How to Request a Copy of Your Identity History Summary
The FBI offers two methods for requesting your Identity History Summary or proof that one does not exist.
Option 1: Submit your request directly to the FBI.
Option 2: Submit to an FBI-approved Channeler, which is a private business that has contracted with the FBI to receive the fingerprint submission and relevant data, collect the associated fee(s), electronically forward the fingerprint submission with the necessary information to the FBI CJIS Division for a national Identity History Summary check, and receive the electronic summary check result for dissemination to the individual. Contact each Channeler for processing times.
Note: If an authentication (apostille) is needed, please contact the Channeler to determine if this service is provided.
What Happens Next
If we find no Identity History Summary on file, you will receive a response indicating that you have no prior arrest data on file at the FBI. If you do have an Identity History Summary on file, you will receive your Identity History Summary or “rap sheet.”

In Ohio, The State Attorney General’s Office does background checks. Their website has a detailed FAQ you can read here. They also have a page dedicated to finding the nearest place you can obtain a background check.
The following is a list of places that can do background checks in Montgomery County, Ohio. They might not all be open to the public. I recommend that you start with your local police department if you can find them on this list and see what they offer. Ask them what forms of payment they require and what you need to bring like a valid state ID or driver’s license.
The Ohio Attorney General’s Bureau of Criminal Investigation website explains background checks generally as follows:
They regularly process about 1 million background checks annually. Through WebCheck, agencies transmit fingerprints and other data electronically to BCI, to be compared against a database of criminal fingerprints to determine if an individual has a criminal record. BCI then issues a background report that helps schools, hospitals, daycare centers, and other employers make critical hiring decisions quickly and with confidence.
