FBI Channeling & FBI Background Check Services
National Background Check, Inc. is one of the few companies in the nation to be recognized by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) as an approved FBI channeling agency. The FBI defines a channeler as an “expediter” rather than a user of criminal history record check results. This authorization permits National Background Check to obtain FBI fingerprint-based background checks on non-criminal applicants via electronic fingerprint submission directly to the FBI.
FBI Background Check Services for Departmental Order
An individual may obtain a copy of his/her FBI criminal identification record, upon request, for review and correction purposes, to challenge the information on record, or satisfy certain legal requirements such as a requirement for adopting a child; to satisfy a requirement to live in a foreign country; to satisfy a requirement to work in a foreign country; to satisfy a requirement to travel in a foreign country; and/or other court-related matters.

· An FBI-approved Channeler may only process requests for a U.S. person (an individual who is a citizen of the U.S. or a lawful permanent resident of the U.S.).
· An FBI-approved Channeler cannot authenticate (apostille) fingerprint search results. A request for your FBI Identification Record or proof that a record does not exist must be submitted directly to the FBI if an apostille is needed.
· An FBI-approved Channeler cannot process a request for employment and/or licensing purposes within the United States. This type of request should be coordinated with the appropriate state identification bureau (or state police) for the correct procedures.
