How far back does an FBI background check go?


Details Included

All of your criminal records, convictions, and any arrests at both the federal and state level show up in your FBI check.

Fingerprints are submitted to the Criminal Justice Information Division using the Fd-264 or FD-1164 form.

In most cases, the normal lookback period for FBI checks is 7-10 years.

The lookback period might be extended in case of government jobs where high level security clearance is required.

Processing takes 3-4 months when applying directly through the mail-in service.

Globeia can get your FBI check results ready within 2.5-3 weeks so that you can submit the clearance certificate in your destination country.
