Understanding FBI Background Checks

What Is an FBI Identity History Summary — and Why Is It Different?

The FBI Identity History Summary — sometimes called a "rap sheet" — is the official record of all federal criminal history associated with a person's fingerprints, pulled directly from the FBI's Next Generation Identification (NGI) system. It is the primary federal criminal history source in the United States.

This is fundamentally different from commercial background checks. When a company runs a background check through a service like Sterling, Checkr, or HireRight, they are querying third-party aggregated databases — which may have gaps, outdated records, or missing information. The FBI Identity History Summary goes directly to the source: the federal database itself.

Why does this distinction matter? Many government agencies, licensing boards, immigration programs, and international employers will only accept an official FBI Identity History Summary — not a commercial report. If you're applying for a green card, a professional license, a government clearance, or international employment, you almost certainly need the FBI version specifically.

As an FBI-certified channeler, Just Doing Business LLC submits your fingerprints directly to the FBI's NGI system electronically — bypassing the mail entirely. That's why our results come back in 24–48 hours instead of the 4–8 weeks required for mail-in requests. We capture your prints on-site, verify quality, and handle the full submission process so you don't have to navigate federal paperwork alone.

FBI Identity History Summary

The official federal criminal history record sourced directly from the FBI's NGI database. Accepted worldwide by immigration agencies, licensing boards, and government employers. The gold standard background check.

Commercial Background Check

Third-party database query used for most employment screening. Faster and cheaper than FBI checks, but may have gaps, errors, or missing records. Not accepted by USCIS, State Department, or most licensing boards.

FBI Channeler

A private organization authorized by the FBI to receive fingerprints and transmit them electronically to the NGI system. Just Doing Business LLC is an FBI-approved channeler — your results bypass the mail entirely.

Apostille

A government-issued certification that authenticates your FBI results for use in a foreign country. Required for international immigration, foreign employment, dual citizenship applications, and more. We handle the full TX Secretary of State apostille process.

Personal Identity History Request

A self-initiated request to review your own FBI record before applying for jobs or immigration benefits — to verify accuracy and catch any errors before they become a problem. We process these with the same 24–48 hour turnaround.

FBI Background Check Services

From standard employment submissions to full immigration packets with apostille — we handle the entire process.

FBI Check + Apostille Package

We handle both the FBI submission and the full Texas Secretary of State apostille process for international use.

If your FBI Identity History Summary needs to be used in a foreign country that is a member of the Hague Convention — for immigration, international employment, dual citizenship, or foreign real estate — it requires apostille certification. This is a two-step process: the document is first notarized, then certified by the Texas Secretary of State. We handle both steps end-to-end. Apostille processing typically adds 5–10 business days; expedited processing is available.

  • FBI fingerprinting & submission
  • 24–48 hour Identity History Summary
  • Notarization of results
  • Texas Secretary of State apostille filing
  • Expedited apostille available
  • Common for immigration & international work

FINRA & Financial Industry Compliance

FBI fingerprinting for Form U4/U5 FINRA submissions and financial industry regulatory requirements.

This is a federal regulatory mandate — non-compliance can result in sanctions for the firm. We serve financial professionals across the entire DFW metroplex for FINRA Form U4 submissions, with 24–48 hour turnaround. We also support firm-wide onboarding events for new hire batches and can coordinate directly with your compliance team.

FINRA Rule 3110(e) mandates that all member broker-dealers conduct fingerprint-based FBI background checks on all registered representatives and associated persons — before or shortly after hiring. This is not optional: it is a federal regulatory requirement enforced by FINRA, and non-compliance can result in fines, sanctions, or loss of registration for the firm and the individual.

At Just Doing Business LLC, we serve financial professionals across the entire DFW Metroplex for FINRA-compliant fingerprinting. Our 24–48 hour turnaround ensures new hires are not held up, and our electronic submission as an FBI channeler meets the regulatory standard required for Form U4 submissions.

Immigration FBI Background Checks

Green Cards, Visas & Citizenship — Done Right the First Time

Immigration applications are time-sensitive and unforgiving of errors. A fingerprinting mistake or missing apostille can delay your application by months or trigger a Request for Evidence (RFE) from USCIS — costing you time and legal fees. We know immigration document requirements inside and out and walk you through every step.

Most immigration cases require an official FBI Identity History Summary submitted with the application. Many foreign consulate submissions also require the document to carry an apostille from the Texas Secretary of State — certifying its authenticity for international use. We handle both the FBI submission and the apostille process end-to-end.

We work directly with immigration attorneys and their clients — coordinating on document requirements, scheduling fingerprinting, and confirming that submissions meet the specific needs of each form and agency.

¡Sí hablamos español! — We proudly serve Spanish-speaking immigration clients throughout DFW.

I-485

Adjustment of Status (Green Card)

USCIS requires FBI fingerprinting as part of the I-485 biometrics appointment. We assist with the full submission and apostille if needed for foreign documents in the packet.

N-400

Naturalization (Citizenship Application)

U.S. citizenship applications require comprehensive background checks. We process FBI Identity History Summaries for N-400 applicants with same-day availability.

K-1 / K-3

Fiancé & Spouse Visas

K-1 fiancé visas and K-3 spouse visas both require criminal background documentation. We process FBI checks and apostille for consulate packet submissions.

I-130

Family-Based Petitions & Adoption

International adoption and family-based immigration petitions often require FBI background checks with apostille for foreign courts and agencies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about FBI background checks in Arlington and DFW. Questions? Call (972) 850-6982.

What is an FBI Identity History Summary?
The FBI Identity History Summary is the official federal record of all criminal history associated with your fingerprints, sourced directly from the FBI's Next Generation Identification (NGI) system. It is the primary federal criminal history record in the US — not a third-party aggregated database. It is accepted by USCIS, the State Department, government licensing boards, and employers worldwide as the gold standard for background verification.
How is an FBI check different from a commercial background check?
Commercial background checks from providers like Sterling, Checkr, or HireRight query third-party aggregated databases — which may have gaps, outdated records, or missing information from certain jurisdictions. The FBI Identity History Summary is sourced directly from the federal database and is the only version accepted by USCIS, the State Department, and most government licensing boards. If your application specifically requires an FBI check, a commercial report will not be accepted.
How long does it take to get results?
As an FBI-certified channeler, we submit fingerprints electronically and results typically return in 24–48 hours. This compares to 4–8 weeks for mail-in services. Same-day appointment availability for walk-ins Mon–Fri 9AM–5PM at our Choctaw Stadium office.
How much does an FBI background check cost?
There is a government FBI processing fee plus our service fee. We honor a price match guarantee — show us a written quote from a local competitor and we'll beat it. Call (972) 850-6982 for current pricing. Same-day service available with no additional rush fee for most cases.
Do I need an FBI background check for my green card?
Yes. USCIS requires an FBI Identity History Summary for many immigration benefits — including I-485 adjustment of status (green card), N-400 naturalization (citizenship), and various visa categories. If your results will be submitted to a foreign consulate, you will likely also need an apostille. We handle both the FBI submission and the full Texas Secretary of State apostille process. Call us to discuss your specific immigration case before scheduling.
Can you help with apostille for my FBI results?
Yes. We handle the complete apostille process through the Texas Secretary of State for FBI results that need to be certified for use in a foreign country. This is required for international immigration, foreign employment, dual citizenship applications, and foreign consulate submissions. Standard apostille processing adds 5–10 business days; expedited processing is available. We handle the entire process from fingerprinting to final apostille delivery.
Do I need an FBI background check for FINRA registration?
Yes. FINRA Rule 3110(e) requires all registered representatives and associated persons at member broker-dealers to undergo fingerprint-based FBI background checks — before or shortly after hiring. This applies to Form U4 submissions and is a mandatory federal regulatory requirement. We provide FBI-compliant fingerprinting for FINRA registration with 24–48 hour turnaround. We also support firm-wide onboarding batches — call us to set up priority scheduling for your compliance team.
Can I get an FBI background check to review my own record?
Yes — this is called a personal Identity History Summary request. Many clients request it before submitting job applications or immigration filings to verify there are no errors on their FBI record. Errors do occur and can be disputed — catching them before your application is submitted saves significant time. We process personal requests with the same 24–48 hour turnaround. Bring a valid government-issued photo ID.
Do you work with immigration attorneys?
Yes. We work directly 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, K-3, I-130, and other immigration categories and can coordinate directly with your attorney's office on scheduling, document delivery, and apostille processing. Call us to establish a referral relationship.
What do I need to bring to my appointment?
Bring: (1) a valid government-issued photo ID — driver's license, passport, or state ID; (2) the purpose of the check — what program or agency you're applying for; and (3) any ORI number or form reference provided by your employer or agency. For immigration, know your form type (I-485, N-400, etc.). If you need apostille, know the destination country. Call us before your visit if unsure — we confirm requirements in 2 minutes.
