FBI Identity history summary check

    1. If you are a US permanent resident or US citizen: There are two options for you:

      a. Submit your fingerprints and Application Information form (as requested by the FBI) via the mail. In this case, FAST Fingerprint can help you to ink your fingerprints on a standard fingerprint form (FD 1164). We give the form back to you, and then together with other forms requested by the FBI, you can mail it to the FBI. The FBI website indicates that “current processing time for Identity History Summary requests submitted via the mail is 2-4 weeks. Allow additional time for mail delivery”.

      Please be noted that we only provide your fingerprints on the FBI FD-1164 form. We do not involve in any other steps in the procedure of applying for the FBI Identity History Summary Check.
      For more information regarding how to apply for the FBI Identity History Summary Check, please visit the FBI’s website here.

      b. Electronically submit your fingerprints directly to the FBI: with our Livescan system, FAST Fingerprint can capture and electronically submit your fingerprints directly to the FBI.
      What are the advantages of digital fingerprints submission through FAST Fingerprint’s system:

      • Current processing time for Identity History Summary requests submitted electronically is estimated to be 1-2 business days, compared to 2-4 weeks if you send it via the mail.

      • You do not need to send any other documents to the FBI. All you need to do is to have your fingerprints taken in our office. We will do the rest for you.

      • You do not need to pay extra for the FBI.

        Not all private fingerprinting companies provide this service like we do here at FAST Fingerprint.
