Overview

We’ve added functionality to integrate Orchid eBound’s electronic 4473 and FBI NICS background check service. This functionality is for customers that use the FBI NICS website for entry of background checks, excluding POC states or phone submissions. 

 

Installation

Please follow these procedures to use the new functionality:

1. Download the “Orchid eBound - NICS Integration” plugin that can be found in the Chrome web store. Please note that the plugin will only work with a “chromium-based” browser such as Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge and others. This plugin will not work with Apple Safari. 
   
2. If you has previously downloaded the plugin you must uninstall and then re-install. This service will only work with plugin version 0.0.0.5 (Updated November 22, 2022) and later.

1. Please click on “Add on Chrome” to install. 
   

A popup will appear asking for permission to install. Please click on “Add extention” to proceed.
A final screen will appear asking to “Allow all site access?”. Please click on “Yes, allow all site access” to proceed.
Please log into Orchid eBoundTM to complete the installation and click on “Account Settings”. Note: This feature is only available for Company Admins.
On the right hand side, enable the “NICS Integration”. (Turn it green).

Setup is now complete. You will now see a “NICS Check” button on the second page of Section C in the 4473. (Question #27a is the first question on this page). Please click on the button and a new screen will popup with your pre-populated information. 

Final Note: Please ensure that only user is signed into eBound on a computer a given time to avoid any potential conflicts with the NICS plugin.
