How To Get FBI Background Check

You can start the process of getting your FBI Background Check by hiring an approved Channeler. An FBI-Approved Channeler assists clients like you to expedite the delivery of Identity History Summary information (Background Check) on behalf of the FBI.  Approved Channelers obtain the fingerprints from you and submit them electronically with the necessary information to the National Identity History Summary report FBI CJIS Division. The results are received electronically with a summary check to the individual. Each FBI-approved Channeler has different ways to process orders; additional fees may apply on top of the FBI fee for requests. Contact each Channeler for processing times and fees.
