The FBI Identity History Summary —known as the FBI background check— is the federal criminal history record of the United States. The FBI issues it from your fingerprints.
When you cannot come to our Miami or Bogotá offices, the route is the FD-258 card by mail. For a foreign authority to accept the report, it must carry the Hague Convention apostille, which for federal documents is issued only by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C.; if the destination country is not a party to the Convention, consular legalization applies.
You, or someone you trust, follow the step-by-step guide with black ink: how to ink, how to roll each finger and what to check before you send the card.
At a police station or a fingerprinting service in your city that works with the FD-258 card. In many countries the judicial police or forensic institutes offer it.
What it is used for: visas and residence permits in another country · Colombian visas (Resolución 5477) · naturalization · work or study abroad · international adoptions · recognition of degrees and licenses · due diligence and compliance.
Every package includes the FD-258 card with the guide, the review of the card when it reaches Miami, filing with the FBI and digital delivery; those with apostille also include its processing at the Department of State. Under each price, the timeline.
