FBI Identity History Summary Report
We are proud to be an Approved FBI Channeler with Accurate Biometrics. Our digital channeling system greatly seeds up the time it takes to fingerprint and process the report. The FBI Identity History Summary Report can be requested by US based employers, Federal Agencies, or Foreign Governments and Institutions.
At this time, digital channeling services may only be used by US Citizens or Permanent Residents. All paperwork is provided, and clients should NOT fill out an application on the FBI website. Our experienced, knowledgeable technicians will guide you through the paperwork and help you determine which option best suits your needs.
Non-citizens can be printed on traditional ink & roll cards, and will be instructed on how on mail them in. If the background check is needed for a Visa or Second Citizenship application and requires an Apostille, we are happy to handle the Apostille process for you. All federal documents must be Apostilled in Washington, D.C. Simply let the technician know at the time of your appointment, and we will be happy to provide more information.
If the report is requested by a foreign government or institution, or will be used overseas in any capacity, you must obtain a hard-copy of the report on tamper-proof paper. A downloaded PDF is not acceptable for Apostille purposes.

How does an applicant receive his/her results?
You will receive an email from Accurate Biometrics with a link to your results within 48 hours of fingerprint capture. You can download a PDF of your results for your own records or to send to a prospective employer. Please note this link is only active for 30 days, and can only be used once. The PDF copy of your results is not acceptable for Apostilles or international usage, so you must wait for the hard copy to arrive in the mail.
Results will only be mailed to the applicant’s residential address. The only instance in which you can have results sent to someone else is to your attorney. In this case, your attorney would need to submit a request to us on their letterhead, with both your and your attorney’s signatures on the same document.
