An FBI background check for personal review is formally called an Identity History Summary Check. We provide fingerprint capture in Brickell and administrative assistance with the request route permitted by FBI rules. U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents may be eligible for an FBI-approved channeler; other individuals may request their own record directly from the FBI. If you are abroad, we confirm the current card and mailing requirements before you proceed.

We distinguish an eligible FBI-approved channeler request from the direct FBI option before fingerprint capture or card preparation.
Fingerprints can be captured in Brickell or placed on the current card required for a direct mailed request, subject to FBI instructions.
We explain the administrative steps in English or Spanish while the FBI controls the application, processing and response.
The receiving authority determines whether the response requires a U.S. Department of State apostille, translation or another step.
The receiving authority may request an Identity History Summary, but it decides the document age, certification and submission requirements.
A direct FBI request can be made from abroad using the official application and a current fingerprint card mailed under FBI instructions.
A channeler and a direct FBI request are not interchangeable. Eligibility, delivery and apostille restrictions must be identified before submission.
The FBI requires complete identifying information, the correct payment and legible current fingerprints. It decides whether a request can be processed.
An FBI Identity History Summary is a fingerprint-based copy of information the FBI maintains for the individual—or a response stating that no record was found. Under Departmental Order 556-73, the request is for personal review, correction or updating. It is not automatically the correct process for employment, licensing or adoption within the United States; those purposes may require a state identification bureau, requesting agency or another authorized channel. Individuals may submit directly to the FBI. An approved channeler can expedite an eligible request but may only submit Departmental Order requests for a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident.
Send your location, citizenship or lawful permanent resident status, purpose and any instructions from the receiving authority. We identify the appropriate request route.
Attend the Brickell appointment or follow the confirmed card instructions. The prints must be current and legible, and the FBI makes the final quality determination.
The request is submitted directly to the FBI or through an eligible approved channeler. The FBI or channeler delivers the response under its current process.
The requester’s status and purpose affect the available route. We confirm the administrative path before the fingerprints are captured or the original card is shipped.
An eligible requester may use an FBI-approved channeler or submit directly to the FBI, subject to the provider’s current process and restrictions.
A foreign national may request their own record directly from the FBI; a Departmental Order channeler is restricted to U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents.
A direct FBI request can be mailed from abroad with the official application, payment and current fingerprint card.
An Identity History Summary is provided to the individual for personal review and possible correction or updating. Foreign governments and other receiving organizations may request it for matters such as immigration, residence, professional recognition or study, but each recipient determines whether it will accept the response and what certification is required. For employment, licensing or adoption within the United States, the FBI warns that another authorized process may apply. If an eligible federal response must be used in a Hague Convention country, the U.S. Department of State—not the FBI or fingerprint provider—handles the apostille request.
We distinguish the direct FBI option from an eligible approved channeler request before proceeding.
Live Scan equipment provides capture feedback in Brickell, and current cards can be prepared for eligible mailed requests.
The card and mailing workflow are matched to the selected FBI request route before the applicant sends an original.
Administrative instructions and appointment coordination are available in English or Spanish.

It is the FBI response to a request for an individual’s own fingerprint-based record under Departmental Order 556-73. The response may list information associated with the fingerprints or state that no record was found. It is not the same as every employment, licensing or adoption background check used within the United States.
Yes. An individual may request their own record directly from the FBI regardless of nationality. FBI-approved channelers may submit Departmental Order requests only for U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents, so other requesters generally use the direct FBI option.
An FBI-approved channeler receives an eligible requester’s fingerprint submission and data, sends the request electronically to the FBI and returns the electronic response to that individual. Channelers expedite delivery but do not decide or alter the result.
A requester may complete the direct FBI application and mail a current fingerprint card to the FBI as instructed. If a private provider assists with capture or card preparation, the official FBI application, payment and mailing requirements still govern the request.
We provide fingerprint capture at 175 SW 7th St, Suite 1905, Miami. Before the appointment, we confirm whether your request will be submitted directly to the FBI or through an eligible FBI-approved channeler and which card or electronic route applies.
The FBI processes completed requests in the order received and does not offer expedited handling. Electronic submissions may be processed faster than mailed requests, but no private provider can guarantee a completion date.
For an electronic direct request, the FBI provides an electronic response and an option for First-Class Mail. A channeler returns the electronic response under its approved process. Delivery options and fees should be confirmed before submission.
The foreign authority decides whether it will accept the response and whether an apostille, translation or other certification is required. The U.S. Department of State issues an apostille for an eligible FBI document; a private fingerprint provider cannot guarantee foreign acceptance.
The FBI requires legible current fingerprints. It recommends multiple sets when prints are repeatedly rejected. We provide capture feedback, but the FBI makes the final quality determination and may require a new card or submission.
Not necessarily. The FBI states that employment, licensing or adoption purposes within the United States may require submission through the state identification bureau, requesting federal agency or another authorized channel. Follow the requesting agency’s instructions.
No. A private provider cannot alter an FBI record. The individual may use the FBI’s challenge process for information believed to be inaccurate or incomplete. Legal advice about sealing or expungement must come from a licensed attorney.
The FBI currently charges its own fee for a direct Identity History Summary request. Provider, fingerprint capture, channeler, shipping and document-service fees are separate and depend on the selected route. We provide the total within our scope in writing.
Bring current government-issued photo identification and tell us where you are located, the purpose of the request and whether the receiving authority has issued instructions. The official application requires accurate identifying and contact information.
Yes. We provide fingerprint appointment and administrative request assistance in English or Spanish. The FBI forms and decision remain under federal control.
Electronic capture in Miami and eligible hard-card services for authorized requests.
Profession-specific Florida licensing submissions using the current ORI.
In-person and remote online notarization for eligible supporting documents.
Secure remote online notarization when the document and receiving party permit it.
Send your location, requester status, purpose and any instructions from the receiving authority. We will confirm the available route, fingerprint requirements and total price within our scope before you proceed.
