Frequently Asked Questions
What is an FBI Identity History Summary?
It is the official record of all federal criminal history associated with your fingerprints. Unlike commercial background checks, this is sourced directly from the FBI and is accepted worldwide for immigration, professional licensing, and employment.
How is this different from a regular background check?
Commercial background checks query third-party databases and may miss records. The FBI Identity History Summary is the primary federal source — it is required for immigration, many professional licenses, and international use. It is the only version accepted by agencies like USCIS, State Department, and foreign consulates.
How long does it take to get results?
As an FBI-certified channeler, we submit electronically and results typically return in 24–48 hours. Mail-in services take 4–8 weeks.
Do I need an FBI background check for my green card?
Yes — USCIS requires an FBI Identity History Summary for many immigration benefits including adjustment of status (I-485), naturalization (N-400), and certain visa categories. We assist with the full packet including apostille if needed for foreign consulates.
What is an apostille and do I need one?
An apostille certifies the authenticity of your FBI results for use in foreign countries. If your immigration or legal matter involves a foreign government, you likely need an apostille. We handle the apostille process through the Texas Secretary of State.
How much does an FBI background check cost?
The FBI Identity History Summary has a government processing fee plus our service fee. We price competitively and honor a price match guarantee. Call (972) 850-6982 for current pricing. Same-day service available.
Can you help with apostille for my FBI results?
Yes. We handle the full apostille process through the Texas Secretary of State for clients who need their FBI results certified for use in foreign countries. This is common for immigration, international employment, and foreign consulate submissions.
Do I need an FBI background check for FINRA registration?
Yes. FINRA Rule 3110(e) requires member firms to conduct fingerprint-based background checks on all registered personnel. We provide FBI-compliant fingerprinting for FINRA registration and U4 form submissions. Results are submitted electronically for 24–48 hour turnaround.
What is the difference between an FBI check and a commercial background check?
Commercial background checks (like those from Sterling, Checkr, or HireRight) query third-party aggregated databases and may have gaps or errors. The FBI Identity History Summary is sourced directly from the federal criminal history database and is the only version accepted for USCIS immigration, State Department applications, and most government licensing boards.
How do I get an FBI background check for a green card?
For immigration (I-485, N-400, and similar), you need an official FBI Identity History Summary with apostille for foreign use. We take your fingerprints, submit electronically to the FBI, and can process the apostille through the Texas Secretary of State. Call (972) 850-6982 to schedule and discuss your specific immigration case requirements.
Can I get an FBI background check for myself to review?
Yes — this is called a personal Identity History Summary request. Many clients request it before job applications to verify there are no errors on their FBI record. We submit electronically and results typically return in 24–48 hours. Bring a valid government-issued photo ID.
Do you help with FBI background checks for immigration attorneys?
Yes. We work with immigration attorneys and their clients to provide FBI fingerprinting and Identity History Summary results quickly. We understand the document requirements for I-485, N-400, K-1, and other visa categories and can coordinate with your attorney's office.
