What it is

Your FBI Identity History Summary, done right

An FBI background check — officially the Identity History Summary — is a report of any national criminal history tied to your fingerprints, pulled straight from the FBI's records. If your record is clear, that's exactly what it shows. It's what immigration offices, licensing boards, and agencies abroad ask for when they need to verify who you are.

Because we're an FBI-approved channeler, we submit your prints electronically and hand you the result the same visit. No mailing prints across the country. No waiting weeks to find out it was rejected for a smudge.

Sending it overseas? Most countries require your FBI check to be authenticated before they'll accept it. We handle that too — see our federal apostille service, the fastest in the nation.

Commonly needed for
  • Immigration & visa applications
  • Professional licensing (nursing, teaching, real estate)
  • International adoption
  • Work or study abroad
  • Dual citizenship & residency
  • Court, legal & personal review

Not sure if this is the check you need? Call us and we'll point you to the right one in a minute.
