Standard and Expedited FBI background checks

We review your request, arrange your fingerprints in Woburn or, for expedited checks, at a partner location near you, submit them through the right route and keep you informed until your results arrive.

Two options

Standard

$123

  • Fingerprints submitted directly to the FBI.
  • Available to every applicant.
  • Fingerprinting in Woburn, Massachusetts, by prior arrangement.

Expedited

$128

  • Submitted electronically through an FBI-approved channeler for faster processing.
  • Only for applicants who meet the channeler's eligibility requirements.
  • Fingerprinting in Woburn or at a partner location across the U.S. (a U.S.-issued photo ID is required at partner locations).

Who can choose expedited?

A valid U.S.-issued photo ID, such as a state driver's license, is part of our first screening, but it doesn't establish eligibility on its own. We review eligibility when we take your request. If you're not eligible, we process your check through the standard route.

What your fee covers

Fingerprint collection, submitting your request to the FBI, and sending your results to you and, if you wish, your attorney or representative.

Processing time depends on FBI volume. We give you a current estimate when we review your request. Processing times are estimates, not guarantees.

Booking and refunds

To book your appointment, we ask for a scheduling payment, usually $78. We'll confirm the exact amount before you book. The scheduling payment is non-refundable. The rest of your fee can be refunded if you cancel before your appointment, as long as we haven't yet submitted your request to the FBI or paid the FBI's fee.

Where you'll be fingerprinted

In Woburn, Massachusetts

By prior arrangement · Standard or Expedited

We collect your fingerprints at a time we arrange together. There are no walk-ins.

What to bring: the confirmation email from the FBI, and your ID (a passport or driver's license).

At a partner location near you

Expedited only · anywhere in the U.S.

Bring a U.S.-issued photo ID, such as a driver's license or passport. That ID alone doesn't make you eligible for expedited processing; we review eligibility with you first.

Partner locations collect fingerprints for Expedited checks only. Woburn handles every check.

When it's requested

An FBI Identity History Summary is often requested for:

  • Immigration matters
  • Employment and professional licensing
  • Adoption
  • Residence or visas abroad

If you're not sure which document you need, ask the agency or your attorney, and we'll help you with the request.

Common questions

How long does it take?

It depends on FBI volume and on the route your request takes. We give you a current estimate when we review your request.

What should I bring to my fingerprinting appointment?

The confirmation email from the FBI, and your ID: a passport or driver's license. At partner locations, the ID must be U.S.-issued.

Is MassVerify Solutions an FBI-approved channeler?

No. For expedited requests, we submit your fingerprints through an FBI-approved channeler. Standard requests go directly to the FBI.

Will my result be accepted for my application?

Acceptance is decided by the agency or court that receives it. We prepare and submit your request carefully, but we can't decide or predict acceptance.

What does the price include?

Fingerprint collection, submitting your request to the FBI, and sending your results to you and, if you wish, your attorney or representative.

Do you work with clients outside Massachusetts?

Yes, for expedited checks. We arrange fingerprinting at partner locations across the U.S., and you'll need a U.S.-issued photo ID, such as a driver's license or passport. Having that ID doesn't by itself make you eligible for expedited processing; we review that separately. Standard checks are fingerprinted in Woburn, Massachusetts.

When do I pay, and can I get a refund?

To book your appointment, we ask for a scheduling payment, usually $78. We'll confirm the exact amount before you book. The scheduling payment is non-refundable. The rest of your fee can be refunded if you cancel before your appointment, as long as we haven't yet submitted your request to the FBI or paid the FBI's fee.
