Your client needs an FBI background report before you can have it apostilled. Send me the prints — I convert the card and submit it electronically within 24 business hours of receipt. You keep the client, the markup, and the relationship.
Receipt to submitted
Typical FBI response
Flat partner price
Pre-ship FP quality check
US citizens only. Applicants must hold US citizenship and provide a US driver’s license or state ID. Please qualify your client before you ship — it saves you a wasted cycle.
Standing up electronic FBI submission means an approval process, software, hardware and recurring cost — for a service most apostille agents need a handful of times a month. Route it to me instead.
I work behind you, not around you. I don't market to your client, and I don't solicit their apostille work. The relationship stays yours. I value our relationship!
Nothing to set up and nothing to maintain. One job or twenty a month — same flat price, same process.
Email me a scan before anything ships. I review it against FBI CJIS standards and tell you to reprint or proceed — before your client has paid for postage twice.
Published partner pricing, so you can quote your client on the phone without waiting on me for a number.
Nothing here is a surprise. You’ll know exactly what to tell your client before you take the job.
Your details and the shape of the job — how many applicants, how you’d like to send, when you need it. No applicant personal information on this form.
Everything you will need, the Client Information Sheet, packaging and print-quality guides, the service disclaimer, and forms for submitting your applicant’s personal information.
Print two Cards — cheap insurance against one being light or smudged. Both the applicant and the person rolling the prints must sign. Black ink only.
Before anything ships. I check the scan against FBI CJIS legibility standards and tell you plainly: reprint, or proceed. This is the single biggest cause of lost time in this process, and it costs you nothing to avoid it.
You mail the original cards, and I convert from those. I invoice on receipt, and work begins once it’s settled.
I convert your clients FD-258 cards and submit within 24 business hours of receiving a the job & the invoice is paid. The FBI response goes to your applicant by a secure one-time pickup link — read the delivery rules below and brief your client before you start.
Package up and mail the pre-approved fingerprints.
Shipping risk is yours. You choose the carrier and service. I’m not responsible for packages that are lost, delayed, misrouted, or damaged in transit, and replacement cards or re-shipping are at your cost.
This form collects your details and the shape of the work. Your applicant’s personal information comes later, through a secure link, never through a web form.
Deliberately no personal data here. This form will never ask for your applicant’s Social Security number, date of birth, or physical description. Those go on the Client Information Sheet, which I send you after we’ve engaged.
Prefer to talk it through first? Use WhatsApp to contact me.
I’ll commit to my part in writing. The rest is the FBI’s clock and the carrier’s clock, and nobody can promise you those.
From a clean, paid, complete job in hand to submitted. This is the part I control and the part I stand behind.
The most common outcome once a submission is in. Observed responses have ranged from a few minutes to several days.
It can take up to 72 hrs for reports to be returned to the client. Unusual? Yes but it does happen. Typically Faster.
All FBI Reports are delivered to your clients personal email address.
All times above are estimates, not guarantees. Postal and carrier delays, system outages, high volume, and agency backlogs can extend processing beyond these figures. I’m not liable for missed deadlines caused by shipping or agency processing times. Build a buffer into what you promise your client.
Rejection is billable — a second submission is a new job at full price. So the quality check is free, and I’d rather you use it twice than skip it once.
The report is delivered by secure one-time pickup. Every one of these rules has burned somebody. Read them to your client.
Use your clients personal email address for FBI Background Reports
Your client will be able to download the Background Report to their computer.
Results expire 30 days after the response date. After that there is no way to retrieve them — the applicant fingerprints will need to be submited again - $95.
Results cannot be retrieved on a phone or tablet. Pickup also requires a second-factor code by text or voice call to a direct line — no extensions.
The report is delivered by secure one-time pickup. Every one of these rules has burned somebody. Read them to your client.

Invoice is sent when your cards or scans arrive. Work begins once it’s settled. Fees are non-refundable once work has started.
No. That's the point of the service. You send me the prints and the completed information sheet; I handle the conversion and the electronic submission. There's nothing for you to sign up for, install, or maintain.
Not through this service. This is a US citizen only service and requires a US driver's license or state ID. If you have a foreign national who needs an FBI report, contact me before you take the job and I'll tell you honestly whether I can help.
Service fees still apply — I scanned and submitted what was provided. A new card and a second submission are treated as a new job and billed separately. This is exactly why the pre-ship quality check is free: use it, and rejection becomes rare.
Two to three. Print multiple FD-258 forms and take a full set on each. It costs almost nothing at capture time and saves an entire mail-and-reprint cycle when the first set comes out light or smudged.
Yes, but it's a separate service with its own fee schedule, $90 per document, FBI Background Checks only.
This page covers FBI Identity History Summary submissions. State-level and agency-specific checks work differently and use different demographic forms — ask me before you commit to a client on one
No. I'm an apostille agent too — I know exactly how that feels. I don't market to your client and I don't solicit their downstream work.
