Why Electronic Wins

Electronic FBI Submission vs. Mailing Paper Fingerprint Cards

We submit your fingerprints to the FBI electronically. Here is why that beats the old method of mailing paper cards and waiting on the result.

Our Electronic FBI Submission
Fast, Clean & Ready for Any Country
  • Fingerprints captured digitally and sent electronically to the FBI
  • Results usually back in one to two business days
  • Clean digital capture means far fewer rejected prints
  • Apostille or embassy authentication handled in the same place
  • One finished document, ready to submit abroad
The Old Way: Mailing Paper Cards
Slow, and Easy to Get Rejected
  • Weeks of waiting on a mailed-in result
  • Paper cards are often rejected for smudged prints
  • A rejection means starting the wait over
  • Risk of lost or delayed mail
  • You still have to arrange authentication separately
Who It Is For

Who Needs an FBI Identity History Summary

An FBI Identity History Summary — also called an FBI background check, FBI clearance, FBI rap sheet, or U.S. police clearance certificate — is required for a wide range of immigration and international purposes. People most often need an FBI background check for immigration, for a visa, or for work abroad.

🆔
Immigration & Green Card

USCIS and foreign immigration authorities often require an FBI background check for immigration, naturalization, and green-card applications to confirm you have no disqualifying record.

📄
Visa Applications

Work, student, residency, retirement, and marriage visas frequently require an FBI clearance as part of the application.

🌐
Working Abroad

Overseas employers in teaching, nursing, energy, and other fields require an FBI background check before they will hire you.

🤝
Dual Citizenship

Many countries require an apostilled FBI background check before granting a second citizenship.

🏠
Residency & Retiring Abroad

Long-term residency and retirement visas commonly require a clean FBI clearance certificate.

👶
International Adoption

Adoption agencies and foreign courts require FBI background checks for adoptive parents.

One-Stop Service

FBI Background Check + Apostille or Embassy Authentication

A foreign government will not accept your FBI report on its own — it must be authenticated for international use, a step known as document authentication or legalization. Our apostille and authentication services finish that step for you, so you leave with a document that is ready to submit.

📜
Hague Convention Countries
Apostille

For countries in the Hague Apostille Convention, we obtain a U.S. Department of State apostille so your FBI background check is recognized and accepted abroad.

🏛
Non-Hague Countries
Embassy & Consular Authentication

If your destination country is not part of the Hague Convention, we complete the full legalization through that country's embassy or consulate — a service most providers do not offer.

Simple by Design
