WHAT IS NEW WITH FBI BACKGROUND CHECKS?
No more mailing your Fingerprint Ink card to the FBI, getting a Money Order for $18, standing in long lines to mail the Fingerprint card at the Post Office and waiting up to 120 days to receive your results. Most often the time to submit your Fingerprints to the requesting agency (immigration court, school in a foreign country, etc) would have passed causing you frustration, inconvenience and additional expenses.
You can now receive your results within 7 to 10 days of FBI processing your background checks. An expedited option of receiving your results within 24 to 48 hours of processing your background check is also now available for an additional fee. If you do not receive your report within 21 days of taking your prints, please contact us at 213-489-4559 and we will get you another copy of your FBI Criminal background results.
