The Central Background Registry (CBR) is managed by the Child Care Licensing Division (CCLD) and serves as a registry of individuals who have been approved to work in childcare facilities in Oregon. Individuals enrolled in the CBR are eligible to work in childcare settings and can reside in homes where childcare is provided. Please keep in mind that it can take up to 8 weeks for the CCLD to process an application for the Central Background Registry, particularly for individuals who have lived out of state in the past five years. We strongly encourage all job applicants to apply for the CBR as soon as possible, even before the interview, to prevent any delays in the hiring process.

Important: No employee can be officially hired or begin employment with Head Start of Lane County until CBR approval is granted.
