Obtaining an official FBI Background Check shouldn't be a complicated, drawn-out process. Whether you need it for moving abroad, finalizing an international adoption, or simply reviewing your personal record, our certified technicians use advanced LiveScan technology to capture and transmit your fingerprints directly to the federal database for rapid processing. We eliminate the messy ink, the long wait times, and the anxiety of wondering if your prints will be rejected.
What is an FBI Background Check?
Whether your requesting agency calls it a Departmental Order, a Personal Review, or an Identity History Summary Check (IdHSC), it is the exact same thing: a comprehensive summary of your criminal history (or proof that absolutely none exists) across all 50 states. Per official FBI guidelines, this report pulls data directly from the federal fingerprint database to give you an accurate, certified record. Working with a secure, approved channeling service ensures you get your data quickly and legally.

FBI Background Check FAQs
Can I use this specific check for standard employment in the US?
Generally, no. This specific FBI Background Check is designed primarily for personal review, international travel, visas, and adoption. If you are applying for a job in the US (such as a teacher, nurse, financial advisor, or security guard), your employer or licensing board will usually provide you with a specific 6-digit code called an ORI Number. Just bring that code to your appointment, and we will securely route your LiveScan prints directly to the correct state or federal agency instead!
Can someone else request my background check?
No. By federal law, an FBI Background Check for personal review can only be requested by the individual themselves. You cannot request a Departmental Order on behalf of a spouse, employee, or family member. You must be present with valid government identification during the fingerprint capture process.
Do I need an Apostille?
If you are using this report for a foreign visa (such as moving to Europe or Asia), the foreign government will almost certainly require an Apostille. This is a special federal authentication seal placed on the document. If you require an Apostille, please let our technician know during your appointment so we can guide you on the fastest way to request a hard copy of your results for federal authentication.
