At PrintScan, we prioritize your convenience. Whether you choose to drop by one of our numerous service centers or prefer our technicians to visit your location, we ensure a seamless experience to fulfill all your fingerprinting needs.
An Authorized Recipient (AR) is an entity, whether governmental or nongovernmental, authorized by federal statute or executive order to receive fingerprint background check results. ARs assess the suitability of prospective employees for employment purposes. Those ARs issued an Originating Agency Identifier (ORI) number can streamline their fingerprint submissions through Approved FBI Channelers for more efficient processing.
It's important to note that not all employers are considered Authorized Recipients, and FBI approval is required.
Examples of Authorized Recipient Entities include:
Federally Chartered or FDIC Banking Institutions
Native American Tribes
Public Housing Authorities
Applicants for Federal Employment
Flight Training and Aviation
Common Reasons for an FBI Fingerprint Check
International adoptions
Acquiring student visas
Legal court proceedings
Personal record inspection
Traveling abroad
Solicitor or lawyer requests
