What Is an FBI Background Check?

An FBI background check — also known as an Identity History Summary Check — is a report that shows your criminal history based on fingerprints submitted to the FBI. It’s commonly required for immigration, employment, visa processing, adoption, and international travel. We capture your fingerprints and securely transmit them for official FBI processing, ensuring accuracy and compliance every step of the way.
