FBI Identity History Summary Checks

Written October 16th, 2016

Identity History Summary Checks

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) now allows individuals to obtain "Identity History Summary Checks". Also known as a "FBI Report", Identity History Summary Checks are basically reviews or proofs that criminal records may or may not exist for individuals. The US Department of Justice Order 556-73, also known as Departmental Order, has established guidelines and procedures for this.

The Identity History Summary Checks are done by individuals seeking their "personal record review" typically for:

  • Challenge Information on Record
  • Child Adoption
  • Work Visa/Student Visa
  • Immigration
  • Foreign Residency/Travel
  • Attorney Request

 

Background Checks for Employment or Licensing

The FBI's Identity History Summary Checks are typically NOT for employment or licensing purposes within the United States. In most cases the applicant are required by applicable state statute and/or federal law when submitting the background check request through the state's identification bureau, the requesting federal agency, or other authorized (channeling) agencies. It is recommended that applicants contact their requesting agency that is seeking the fingerprinting submission to ensure the appropriate method is followed.

Also Know As...
Other names for the FBI Identity History Summary Checks are Federal Police Clearances, Rap Sheets, Criminal Background Checks, Police Certificates, or even Police Clearance Certificates, just to name a few.

 

Obtaining Identity History Summary Checks

One of most surprising aspects of obtaining a FBI Identity History Summary Check is the time frame. In the past the only way to obtain a FBI Report is by getting fingerprinted on FD-258 Fingerprint Ink Cards. Once fingerprinted, applicants will need to send their FD-258 Ink Cards directly to the FBI and wait, and wait, and wait for their FBI Report to show up on their door steps. This waiting game is typically about 12-14 weeks. The price for this process is $18 plus the cost for getting fingerprinted.

 
FBI-Approved Channelers
If the waiting game is not the popular here, then perhaps paying extra for a FBI-approved Channeling service to expedite your request is the best option. When using FBI-approved Channeling services, obtaining FBI Identity History Summary Checks will take about 1-3 days on average for completion.

FBI-approved Channelers have be contracted by the FBI to assist in expediting the delivery of Identity History Summary Checks on behalf of the FBI. A list of a FBI-approved Channelers can be found on the FBI's website.

Want to get your fingerprints digitized in the national database? Receiving ink card fingerprinting service can basically be seen as part of the initial process. For such ink card fingerprinting services there are many Live Scan Biometrics industry related business and dedicated ink fingerprinting locations all across the United States that can fingerprint you.

FD-258 Ink Fingerprint CardNow for clarification, when we speak of getting your “fingerprints digitized”; it basically means that you (the applicant) will first get fingerprinted on the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) ink card form called “FD-258.” Once fingerprinted on the ink card, you are typically required by your requesting agency to send back the ink card(s) to them. Once the requesting agency receives the ink card(s), they will convert the prints to a digitized format. The converting process is basically scanning the ink fingerprint card to an electronic image. Once the fingerprints are in an electronic digitized format they are submitted and processed through law enforcement agencies criminal databases such as the California Department of Justice (DOJ) and/or perhaps the FBI.

 

Ink Card Fingerprinting Usages

Although majority of agencies use live scan to enroll fingerprints FBI uses ink cards. Commonly known as the “blue ink card”; the demand for ink card fingerprinting continues to be strong. Ink card fingerprinting services are typically used for the following purposes:

Ink card fingerprinting services are also used by Government Agencies when an applicant's function are deemed "sensitive" and/or required by the Federal Law.

 

The Fingerprinting Process

There are different methods of fingerprinting available. First is the Standard ink cards or the ink fingerprinting cards are the standard ink fingerprinting equipment. Two types of ink cards are generally used: FD-258 and FD-249. Ink is used to record the fingerprints and the images of these prints are scanned into the system database with the help of ink cards.

The second alternative is using Live Scan. Live scan does not use ink and paper. It needs a Live Scan device to electronically capture the fingerprints and then electronically store in the system. It is also used for FBI background checks. In fact it has become an essential tool in any and all kinds of law investigations.

Both of the above mentioned methods have their own pros and cons. Ink card fingerprinting is a traditional method of the biometrics fingerprinting industry; while Live Scan on the other hand is a more modern technique with a completely digitized approach.
