The Federal Bureau of Investigation maintains arrest fingerprint cards submitted by all fifty states and federal law enforcement agencies nationwide.
However, the FBI does not release criminal history information unless authorized by federal law or a state statute under which release of information has been approved by the United States Attorney General.
State statutes approved by the Attorney General include:
• Teacher Licensing
• Gaming Applicants
• Lottery Employees
• Guards & Watchmen
Federally approved background include:
• Daycare and caregiver background checks under the National Child Protection Act/Volunteers for Children Act
Any background checks authorized through the FBI must be done by the submission of two ten-print fingerprint cards. The fees for these background checks vary depending on whether the subject is an employee or volunteer, and if a state caregiver check must be done. However, the fee is never less than thirty-three dollars ($33.00).
