Fingerprint Background Checks
We facilitate the entire fingerprinting process from collection to reporting.
Fingerprint Screening:
Fingerprint background checks (or FBI background checks) are a search of the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS)
Fingerprinting is most commonly used when screening firearm buyers and federal, state, or local government employees
In 2022, a total of 31.6 million background checks were registered by the FBI
Do You Require FBI Background Checks?
While the vast majority of organizations opt to source their screening data from the private sector (name-based screening), some are required to conduct fingerprint background checks on employees. Fingerprint background checks are ultimately fulfilled by the federal government as personal information is checked against the FBI’s NICS database. Peopletrail can oversee this process for organizations by facilitating fingerprint collections and tracking results.
