FBI fingerprinting
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.
All U.S. Citizens and Legal Permanent Residents can receive their background check results within 24 to 48 hours online through a link that will be provided to them after their fingerprints are taken. If a hard copy of the FBI results are needed, the applicant can receive them either overnight or within 3 to 5 days for an additional fee. If the results are not received within 14 days of taking the prints, please contact us at 213-489-4559 so that we can get another copy of the FBI Criminal Background check results mailed to the applicant. All other Non U.S. citizens and Non Permanent Residents can get their expedited FBI results within 3 to 4 weeks of taking their prints at A1.

What is included in my FBI Criminal Record Report?
It contains a detailed record of any arrests that you may have had including date of arrest, nature of charges and the disposition if known. The report also contains any information as it relates to federal employment, naturalization and military service. The report includes a search of your record in all 50 states and 3200 counties.
What can I do if I find errors on my FBI report?
You have the right to challenge information you believe to be incorrect on your FBI criminal history report. Ideally, the FBI will update your record if the request is made directly from the arresting agency, police department or county courthouse. However, you can also send any supporting documentation along with a letter challenging the disputed information on your report to the following address:
FBI CJIS Division
Attn: Correspondence Group
1000 Custer Hollow Road
Clarksburg, WV 26306
Upon verification with the appropriate agencies and parties, the FBI CJIS Division will update its records.
