FBI Background Check: FAQs
What is an FBI-Approved Channeler?
A company the FBI has approved to submit fingerprints and receive results electronically for personal record requests. We submit through Fulcrum Biometrics, an FBI-Approved Channeler, which is faster than applying to the FBI by mail.
Is this the same as a Florida Livescan check?
No. A Florida Livescan goes to FDLE and a Florida agency for employment or licensing. An FBI Identity History Summary is your personal federal record, often used for travel and immigration.
Can I get my FBI check apostilled?
Yes. Many countries require an apostille. Add our $150 apostille service and we'll send your FBI report to the U.S. Department of State.
