Managed Fingerprinting and Background Check Solutions

The Freedom to Travel Abroad

U.S. citizens traveling abroad may need to be prepared to submit FBI background checks for travel visas as the number of countries requiring FBI background checks for travel across their borders is growing. Among the countries now requiring background checks for travel for U.S. citizens are: China, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Iceland and Spain. Accurate Biometrics is an expert service provider of FBI background checks for visas with nearly 20 years of experience. We were the first U.S. company approved to offer FBI fingerprint-based background check service to U.S. Citizens.

FBI background checks are more officially known as an “Identity History Summary” (IdHS) check or Departmental Order 556-73; or commonly referred to as an “FBI Self Check.” The results of the FBI background check are commonly referred to as a “rap sheet”, “my FBI Report”, or “eDO”.

What is a “rap sheet”?  

A rap sheet, or criminal record on file with the FBI, is based on fingerprint submissions received and retained by the FBI. A rap sheet may include information reported to the FBI from any source including local, state and federal agencies who submit fingerprint-based transactions to the FBI for retention. Your FBI rap sheet may also contain disposition data which is not fingerprint-based, if reported to the FBI. The rap sheet is only a snapshot in time, containing retained information at the time of your Departmental Order request. The FBI rap sheet may also contain “wanted” or “warrant” information reported from other law enforcement entities.

A personal background check is available through Accurate Biometrics for all U.S. citizens and permanent residents, home or abroad. This report is suitable for:

  •  Visa requirements to live, work or travel in a foreign country
  • Personal Review – checking on personal record information to check its accuracy
  • Challenging inaccurate information on your record
  • International adoption

Accurate Biometrics recommends that an individual should get a set of their fingerprints on an FBI FD-258 fingerprint card through law enforcement or a live scan fingerprint vendor before they travel abroad, since fingerprint services are not always accessible abroad. It may be easier to obtain a Departmental Order 566-73 report before travel. The report is generated in PDF format and can be downloaded and saved for personal use. The report is generally acceptable for one year after it is generated by the FBI.
