Common Questions
How fast do FBI background check results arrive?
Most FBI Identity History Summary results arrive within 24 hours of submission — significantly faster than the 2–4 week window quoted by many providers. Once your fingerprints are transmitted, processing is handled entirely by the FBI.
What is Live Scan fingerprinting and who needs it?
Live Scan captures fingerprints electronically and transmits them directly — no ink, no physical card. It's required for teachers, school employees, childcare workers, and healthcare professionals. Your employer or licensing board requiring Live Scan will specify the submission channel. Note: Identigo holds an exclusive contract with TX DPS — TruIdentity submits Live Scan directly to the FBI.
What is the difference between Live Scan and ink fingerprinting?
Live Scan transmits fingerprints electronically to the requesting agency — results typically arrive within 24–72 hours. Ink fingerprinting rolls your prints onto a physical FD-258 card that you mail yourself to the agency — processing time depends on the agency. Most Texas agencies now require Live Scan, but many federal agencies and out-of-state licensing boards still require physical ink cards.
