The Ways to Get Your FBI Background Check

If you're an American applying for 2nd citizenship, or residency, you probably need to get and submit your FBI background check to the foreign country.

There are 2 ways of applying for FBI background check of yourself:

1. Online application (fbi.gov/how-we-can-hel…)

OR

2. Paper application (form I-783) forms.fbi.gov/identity-histo…

Anybody can use either of these two application types.

I recommend online applications because they tend to be faster even when paired with an ink-on-paper (FD-258) rendering of your fingerprints (see below).

......

Your application type above must be paired with a rendering of your fingerprints. There are 3 ways to render your fingerprints:

1. Via a qualified USPS location in the U.S.
2. Via an "approved channeler" in the U.S.
3. Via old school ink on paper rendering (form FD-258)

Not everyone can render their fingerprints using any of the three methods.

--> Technically, only U.S. citizens and green card holders are supposed to be able to use an approved channeler.

--> Only people in the United States can render their fingerprints via a qualified USPS location in the U.S.

--> Anyone, anywhere can render their fingerprints via old school ink on paper (form FD-258). The drawbacks are old school ink on paper a) takes longer, b) is messier and c) more of a hassle.

...

TLDR: To request your FBI background check, you must pair one application type above (online or I-783) with one of the three ways of rendering your fingerprints (USPS, approved channeler or FD-258 card)
