General Questions:

1. What is the difference between Livescan fingerprints and print cards?

   Livescan fingerprints are captured electronically by a digital fingerprint scanner and a trained technician; fingerprints captured via livescan allow for a much faster and more accurate fingerprint collection process. Prints can be transmitted electronically to drastically reduce processing time, as well as provide a much higher quality of print collection to significantly reduce rejections, or fingerprints that cannot be "read" by the FBI's automated fingerprint information system. Fieldprint Inc. has the largest network of livescan collection sites in the country, with coverage in all 50 states plus Washington D.C.!

5. What happens if my fingerprints are rejected or considered "illegible" by the FBI?

If the fingerprints were collected at a non-Livescan location, additional fees apply.

7. How do I challenge my FBI record?

   The FBI CJIS Division is not the source of the data appearing on identification records. All data is obtained from fingerprint submissions or related identification forms submitted to the FBI by local, state and federal agencies. As a result, the responsibility for authentication and correction of such data rests upon the contributing agency (i.e., police department, county court, etc.). Once you have reviewed the results of your fingerprint-based background check, and you believe it contains inaccurate or incomplete information, you may request a correction by contacting the agency or agencies that submitted the information to the FBI, or you may send a written request to the FBI CJIS Division. The CJIS Division does not have the authority to modify any criminal history record information unless specifically notified to do so by the owner of the information.

   Missing or Incorrect State (Non-Federal) Information
   Most states require that change requests be processed through their respective state central repository for criminal history records before submission to the FBI. Several states, however, maintain their own records system, which the FBI accesses for authorized purposes, and record updates are made at the state level only. You may contact respective state repositories for assistance and, if applicable, request that they provide the FBI with updates to your arrest record data. More information can be found at the FBI's website.

   Missing or Incorrect Federal Information
   For federal arrest updates, the FBI must receive a request directly from the original arresting agency, from a court with jurisdiction over the arrest data, or from other agency of competent jurisdiction.

   Challenges Submitted to the FBI
   You may submit a written records challenge request to the FBI's CJIS Division at the following address:
   FBI CJIS Division
   Attention: Correspondence Group
   1000 Custer Hollow Road
   Clarksburg, WV 26306

   Your written request should clearly identify the information that you believe to be inaccurate or incomplete. Please be sure to include copies of any available proof or supporting documentation to substantiate your claim. For example, if your disposition information is incorrect or missing, you may submit documentation obtained from the court having jurisdiction over the arrest or the office prosecuting the offense. The Correspondence Group will contact appropriate agencies in an attempt to verify or correct challenged entries for you. Upon receipt of an official communication from the agency with jurisdiction over the data, the FBI will make appropriate changes and notify you of the outcome. Record challenges submitted to the FBI are processed in the order in which they are received.
