Steps to Apply for an FBI Criminal Record Check

Here are the steps involved in applying for a USA Police Clearance.

Understanding the Purpose of a USA Police Check

It is important to understand the purpose for which you are applying for a USA Police Clearance. Having a clear understanding before applying will help in saving time and applying correctly.

Fingerprints

Before you apply, you must have your fingerprints ready for submission. Use FD-258/FD-1164 fingerprint cards to take your fingerprints. It is suggested that a fingerprinting technician take your fingerprints. You can reach out to the local police station or a fingerprinting agency to get your fingerprints taken. When reaching out to any agency, consider checking the reputation and testimonials to have a better understanding of their services. Avoid taking fingerprints in red or purple ink. Ensure that the fingerprints are clear and legible without any smudges so that there is no delay in processing and no rejection of the application. It is important that be aware of the process of submitting your fingerprints correctly for an FBI background check.

Submitting an Application for a USA Background Check

To apply for an FBI criminal background check, you can submit your application in different ways. You can mail your application to the FBI to submit your application. You can apply through other valid internet-based service providers such as Globeia. By using Globeia’s services, you can apply online and upload your fingerprints for approval. Once the team reviews and approves it, you can send the original fingerprints. Case managers are also appointed to help you have the right guidance while applying. Results are usually processed within 72 hours through Globeia. While entering your details in the application, make sure all errors are rectified before submission as errors or misinformation can greatly impact the processing of the application and could even lead to rejection.

Pay Fees

While submitting a USA Background Check request, there is a charge to be paid per person as part of the FBI online application process. If requesting assistance in the process of completing fingerprints and submitting them to the agency, an extra fee might be added and it will depend on certain factors.

Receive Results

After the application is completely processed, you can expect your results to be mailed back to you by the FBI or via an FBI channeler who may receive it on your behalf as per your preference. After receiving the results, if you believe that there is any kind of incorrect information provided, you can request a correction or change by contacting the official website.

 

Important Things to Note While Applying for a USA Background Check from the UK

Here are important things you should consider when you apply for an FBI criminal record check online from the UK.

 

Choosing the Right Postal Services

Choosing the right courier service is a key consideration when sending off applications and other required documents to the U.S. Use a delivery service that offers visibility along the entire process by offering real-time tracking. This is especially important because some applications and their supporting documents have strict deadlines for submission, and therefore delivery must be on time. In most cases commercial postage may be cheaper, however the long wait associated with it can be tiring especially when one has a limited time frame. To perform a USA background check seamlessly, it is best to engage the services of a reputable and speedy courier service to reduce the risk of delays and protect these important documents.

Understanding Processing Timeframes

Once your application gets to the FBI, the processing time for a police clearance certificate in the US subject to the FBI’s application load at the time will vary. There are certain seasons in the year, for instance, the festive season or in certain months, when the FBI usually witnesses peak applications leading to an increase in the processing timeline. It is also essential to be aware of any probable lags in processing timelines by monitoring the official website of the FBI or via the FBI Channeler for regular updates on current processing times. It is advisable to submit your application preceding any deadline to lessen the impact of delays due to seasonal backlogs.

Additional Requests

There are also instances when the FBI may reach out to you to confirm your identity or request further clarifications regarding your application. Many reasons could be behind such follow-ups where issues like the submission of error-filled forms often lead to delays. Therefore, avoid such situations by thoroughly understanding what to type while applying and ensuring that all details including your name, date of birth, and others are correct. In case there is a need for the FBI to ask for additional information, it is suggested to assist promptly. 

 

Conclusion

Getting a USA background check in the UK is easier after understanding the steps and important things to take care of while applying. Use Globeia’s FBI background check services and apply seamlessly.
