Identity History Summary Checks

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) now allows individuals to obtain “Identity History Summary Checks”. Also known as a “FBI Report”, Identity History Summary Checks are basically reviews or proofs that criminal records may or may not exist for individuals. The US Department of Justice Order 556-73, also known as Departmental Order, has established guidelines and procedures for this.

The Identity History Summary Checks are done by individuals seeking their “personal record review” typically for:

  • Challenge Information on Record
  • Child Adoption
  • Work Visa/Student Visa
  • Immigration
  • Foreign Residency/Travel
  • Attorney Request
