FBI Fingerprinting

Fingerprints for FBI and background-check applications.

Need prints for an FBI Identity History Summary or another fingerprint-based application? We capture them properly and prepare the cards or file your application requires.

We are not an FBI-approved Channeler. The FBI maintains a specific published list of approved Channelers — contractors authorised to electronically transmit fingerprints for certain purposes. We are not on it. If your application specifically requires submission through an approved Channeler, use one from the FBI's list. We'd rather tell you that now than take your money.

What we do provide

We provide professional fingerprint capture and prepare compatible FD-258 cards or EFT files, depending on what your application requires. For most people requesting an Identity History Summary directly from the FBI, that's precisely what's needed — a properly rolled set of prints on the correct card, which you then submit yourself.

Common reasons people need these

  • FBI Identity History Summary — often called a personal background check or "rap sheet," frequently needed for foreign employment, visas, residency or adoption.
  • Immigration and visa applications requiring fingerprint cards.
  • Licensing boards and professional certifications.
  • International applications where prints must be mailed abroad.

Check before you come

Fingerprint-based applications are unforgiving about details that have nothing to do with the prints themselves. Before your appointment, confirm with the requesting agency:

  • Whether they accept cards you submit yourself, or require an approved Channeler.
  • Whether they want a specific ORI number or reason-fingerprinted code on the card.
  • How many cards they need, and where they're mailed.

Bring the instructions with you. We'll read them before we capture anything.
