The FBI Background Check Process
Getting your national criminal history report is simple with our streamlined, secure process.
Live Scan (Digital Submission)
What it is: A completely digital process where your fingerprints are captured electronically by a Livescan device. The image is instantly captured and submitted directly to the FBI for processing.
- **Faster Processing:** Results typically available in 24-48 hours.
- **Higher Accuracy:** Eliminates smudges and blurry prints, drastically reducing rejection rates.
- **Paperless & Secure:** No mailing required. Your data is transmitted securely and professionally.
Traditional Ink Fingerprinting
What it is: The classic method using ink and a physical fingerprint card (typically an FD-258 card). Our certified technicians ensure the prints are clear and compliant for mailing.
- **Universally Accepted:** Required by many out-of-state agencies and for certain federal or international needs.
- **Versatile:** The physical card can be mailed anywhere, giving you a tangible record.
Protect Your Prints: Digital Storage & EFT Files
Save time and money on future appointments. We can securely save your fingerprint file as an **EFT file**. This is a digital copy of your prints that can be submitted electronically to any agency that accepts this format, eliminating the need to be fingerprinted again.
This digital file is securely stored for your lifetime use, providing ultimate convenience for all your future fingerprinting needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an FBI Channeler?
An approved FBI Channeler is a private company authorized by the FBI to receive fingerprint submissions and securely transmit them to the FBI for a background check. This process is much faster than sending fingerprints directly to the FBI, with results typically available in 24-48 hours.
How is this different from a state-level background check?
An FBI background check provides a national-level criminal history report, while state-level checks are limited to a specific state's records. Many organizations require an FBI check to get a complete picture of an individual's criminal history from all U.S. jurisdictions.
What is an EFT file?
An **EFT (Electronic Fingerprint Transmission)** file is a secure, digital copy of your fingerprints. We can create and store this file for you, allowing for future electronic submissions to agencies that accept EFTs without having to be fingerprinted again.
What if my fingerprints are rejected?
Our certified technicians are trained to produce clear, high-quality prints to prevent rejection. In the rare event your fingerprints are rejected due to print quality, we will re-do them at no additional charge. We have a zero-rejection track record to date.
