Bayou City Fingerprinting FBI Background Check Solutions

What Is An FBI Background Check?

An FBI Background Check is essentially a summary of your criminal history.

Also known as a "Rap Sheet", an FBI Background Check includes a summary of an individual's criminal history. The information in this report is collected by federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies. Although any company may require an FBI Background Check as an employment condition, only you can request a copy of your criminal history from the FBI.

Many people are curious if they can complete an FBI Background Check Online. Although the FBI background check online process still requires you to be fingerprinted in person, Bayou City Fingerprinting can provide you with FBI Background Check online results via email after you complete the process.
