Reasons For FBI Fingerprinting

 

Reasons for FBI Fingerprinting

FBI fingerprinting is often required when individuals need to verify their identity, undergo a background check, or meet federal or international requirements. This type of fingerprinting is used to generate an Identity History Summary (also known as a "rap sheet") from the FBI’s national criminal database.

Here are the most common reasons someone may need FBI fingerprinting:

  • Personal Review of Criminal History
    Individuals can request their own Identity History Summary to check for accuracy, confirm they have no criminal record, or monitor for identity theft.
  • Adoption (Domestic and International)
    Both U.S. and international adoption agencies often require an FBI background check to ensure the safety and suitability of adoptive parents.
  • Travel, Work, or Study Abroad
    Many foreign governments require FBI background checks for long-term visas, residency permits, work permits, or student visas.
  • Immigration-Related Requests
    FBI background checks may be required as part of the USCIS immigration or naturalization process.
  • Employment with Federal Agencies or Contractors
    Certain jobs—especially those involving security clearance, defense contracts, or government work—require FBI-level background screening.
  • Legal Name Change or Court Orders
    Some jurisdictions require an FBI background check to process a legal name change or court-requested personal history review.
  • Attorney Requests or Record Expungement
    Lawyers may request an FBI Identity History Summary on behalf of a client to help with legal matters, including expungements or pardons.
