his or her own IR for review. The FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Division Processes

Accurate Biometrics, Inc. is a private business that is an FBI–approved “Channeler” for individuals
requesting their own FBI Identification Record. Accurate Biometrics will provide Channeler services to you,
an individual, upon receiving your payment to Accurate Biometrics of our service fees and your
representation, warranty, and compliance with all of the following:
- I am an individual located in the United States and am requesting a copy of my Identification Record
only.
- I am either a United States citizen or a non-United States citizen lawfully admitted to the United
States who has permanent residence status.
- My request for my identification record will be used only for my personal review and/or correction
purposes, or to challenge the information on record, or to satisfy certain legal requirements such as a
requirement for adopting a child, or to satisfy a requirement to live, work and/or travel in a foreign
country, and/or other court related matters.
- I will not use my identification record for employment and/or licensing purposes.
- I am not permitted to capture my own fingerprints on fingerprint cards and understand the fingerprints
must be obtained from a law enforcement agency or an Accurate Biometrics location, pursuant to FBI Departmental
Order requirements.
Accurate Biometrics will electronically transmit your fingerprint submission with the information that you
provide on the approved form to the FBI CJIS Division for a national criminal history record check,
and will also receive the electronic record check result for dissemination back to you. FBI results will
be mailed or emailed to you, or to your attorney with written authorization (if your Identification Record
is sent to your attorney, a release statement signed by both yourself and your attorney, on your attorneys’
letterhead, must be provided with your fingerprint cards or provided to the Accurate Biometrics fingerprint
technician at the time of fingerprinting).
You may also access your FBI report results using the Accurate Biometrics Customer Website. This service is
provided to allow you to retrieve/save/print your FBI response within 24 hours after fingerprints are either
captured using live scan (electronic fingerprint capture) or after your fingerprint cards have been received
by Accurate Biometrics and electronically transmitted to the FBI.
If no criminal history record information is found, you will receive a “no record” response. If you have a
criminal history record on file, you will receive your record. Please note, results are prohibited from
being mailed to a non-US address.
