How To Get FBI Background Check

To begin acquiring your FBI background check, consider appointing an approved Channeler. Channelers who have gained approval from the FBI facilitate clients in expediting the acquisition of identity history summary information (Background Check) on behalf of the FBI. These endorsed channelers collect your fingerprints and electronically submit them, along with the requisite information, to the FBI CJIS Division’s National Identity History Summary report. Subsequently, the results, along with a summary check, are electronically delivered to the individual.

Each FBI-approved Channeler may have distinct methods of processing orders, and it’s possible that additional fees may be levied in addition to the FBI fee for requests. It is advisable to get in touch with each channeler individually to inquire about processing times and fees.
