An FBI Identification Record—often referred to as a criminal history record or a “rap sheet”—is a listing of certain information taken from fingerprint submissions retained by the FBI in connection with arrests and, in some instances, federal employment, naturalization, or military service. The process of responding to an Identification Record request is generally known as a criminal background check.
The U.S. Department of Justice Order 556-73 establishes rules and regulations for
the subject of an FBI Identification Record to obtain a copy of his or her own
record for review. The FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS)
Division processes these requests.
Fingerprinting Express is a licensed fingerprint collection site and will assist you with this process.

If you are requesting a background check for employment or licensing within the U.S.,
you may come into Fingerprinting Express for convenient background check service.
Submitting manual fingerprint cards to the State and FBI for criminal background checks may take 8-24 weeks to process and receive the results. Electronic filing for fingerprint background check results are much faster at 5-30 days. Electronic submissions must have a FREE Civil Account established with the State of Nevada Department of Public Safety. The application for the DPS Civil Account can be found here: http://nvrepository.state.nv.us/Fingerprint/forms/2011%20Civil%20App%20and%20checklist.pdf

on record, to satisfy a requirement for adopting a child in the U.S. or internationally, or to satisfy a requirement to live, work, or travel in a foreign country (i.e., police certificate, letter of good conduct, criminal history background, etc.).
A record of criminal history does not include:
Who pays for a background check if my employer requires that a record check? There is nothing in statute governing this question. It is up to the employer. Currently it varies from employer to employer.
