FBI Background Check FAQs

  • An FBI background check (also called an FBI Identity History Summary, rap sheet, or criminal history report) is an official summary of your criminal history from federal, state, and local records. It is commonly required for:

    • Employment (especially government, finance, healthcare, or security roles)

    • Professional licensing (medical, teaching, real estate, etc.)

    • Adoption or foster care

    • Immigration and visa applications (USCIS)

    • Firearms licensing (ATF/FFL)

    • Personal record review (to check for errors or identity theft)

    Protrace Fingerprinting in Dallas provides fast, secure live scan for your FBI background check with direct channeling.

  • FBI background check results (Identity History Summary) typically take 24 hours when submitted through Protrace Fingerprinting's direct FBI channeling. Most clients receive their official rap sheet digitally within 2–5 hours.

    Delays can occur if the FBI needs to resolve matches or if additional agency review is required, but our accurate prints and direct submission minimize wait times compared to mailed ink cards.

  • If your FBI fingerprints are rejected due to technical issues (e.g., poor image quality on our end), Protrace Fingerprinting offers free rescans within 60 days — no additional charge.

    Rejections caused by agency-specific errors, incorrect information you provided, or other non-technical reasons are not covered, but our certified technicians perform an immediate quality check on-site to reduce that risk significantly. If you're concerned, let us know before your appointment — we'll guide you.

  • No — you do not need to be a US citizen to get an FBI background check.

    • US citizens pay $100 (standard rate)

    • Non-US citizens pay $125 (additional processing fee)

    Both options provide the same comprehensive criminal history check from federal, state, and local records. Non-citizens often need it for immigration, visa, residency, or employment purposes. Protrace Fingerprinting in Dallas handles both types with secure live scan and direct FBI submission.
