Types of Background Checks We Offer
IHS – Identity History Summaries (For Non-U.S. Citizens)
An FBI background check is a national, fingerprint-based report that searches federal, state, and local databases for any criminal history.
This service is often required for:
- Immigration and visa applications
- International travel and employment
- Foreign adoptions
- Residency or citizenship documentation
If you’re a non-U.S. citizen, we help you submit your fingerprints directly to the FBI CJIS Division using FD-258 fingerprint cards. Our team ensures your application is properly packaged and ready for mailing.
CHR – Criminal History Reports (For U.S. Citizens & Green Card Holders)
A Criminal History Report (CHR) provides a complete record of your interactions with law enforcement agencies nationwide.
It’s commonly needed for:
- Employment or volunteer screening
- Foreign travel or education
- Legal immigration processing
- Expungement or record challenge with an attorney
- Public housing applications
- Personal record review prior to job or program applications
At Fingerprinting Utah, we process your fingerprints digitally through the FBI Channeler system to deliver verified and timely results.
