"An FBI
Identification Record, often referred to as a Criminal
History Record or 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. If
the fingerprints are related to an arrest, the Identification
Record includes name of the agency that submitted the fingerprints
to the FBI, the date of arrest, the arrest charge, and the
disposition of the arrest, if known to the FBI. All arrest
data included in an Identification Record is obtained from
fingerprint submissions, disposition reports and other reports
submitted by agencies having criminal justice responsibilities.
Reason For The Request
An individual
may request a copy of his or her own FBI Identification Record
for personal review or to challenge information on the Record.
Other reasons an individual may request a copy of his or her
own Identification Record may include international adoption
or to satisfy a requirement to live or work in a foreign country
(i.e., police certificate, letter of good conduct, criminal
history background, etc.)
Can I
Request My Own Record For An Employment Background Check?
If you are requesting
a background check for employment or licensing within the
United States, you may be required by state statute or federal
law to submit your request through your state identification
bureau, requesting federal agency or other authorized channeling
agency. You should contact the agency requiring the background
check or the appropriate state identification bureau (or state
police) for the correct procedures to follow for obtaining
an FBI fingerprint background check for employment or licensing
purposes.
