What Is an FBI Express Criminal History Report?
An FBI Express Criminal History Report is a personal background check that searches the FBI's national fingerprint database — the largest biometric criminal history repository in the United States. Unlike a state-level check, the FBI report searches records from all 50 states, federal agencies, and participating international partners.
This report is available exclusively for personal use by U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents. It is not valid for employment screening or professional licensing purposes. Results are delivered electronically and can be viewed, saved, or forwarded directly from your email.
