The Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has completed the following fingerprint submission:
A search of the fingerprints provided by this individual has revealed no prior arrest data at the FBI. This does not preclude further criminal history at the state or local level.
The result of the above response is only effective for the date the submission was originally completed. For more updated information, please submit new fingerprints of the Subject.
In order to protect Personally Identifiable Information, as of August 17, 2009, FBI policy has changed to no longer return the fingerprint cards. This form will serve as the FBI’s official response.

USDOS processes FBI apostilles Monday–Thursday only — never Fridays, weekends, or federal holidays.

USDOS processing runs ~8–10 business days; we pick up on the 8th business day and the courier delivers it to our firm the next business day (Thursday pickup → Friday arrival; Friday pickup → Monday arrival). Click any date on the calendar to project from there.
