To request your background check using this method, you submit a request directly to the FBI, along with at least one recent inked fingerprint card.  Go to the FBI website here to see complete information and instructions on how to submit your request directly to the FBI. 

Once the FBI receives your request, fingerprint card and payment, it will take 11-13 weeks to process your request, after which the results will be mailed to you by USPS.  

Total cost is $58:  $40 for the completed fingerprint card and $18 to the FBI with your request.   The report returned to you is authenticated but is no longer printed on colored, tamper-proof paper by the FBI.

Because your fingerprint card and completed request must be mailed to My FBI Report, Signing Hawaii suggests that you send your request by Priority Mail so you have tracking to confirm receipt of your request by My FBI Report.  

When completing your request, there is also an option available to have your completed report returned to you by Priority Mail, again with tracking, for an additional $14, or by Fedex for an additional $40.  If you select either of these options you will be provided with the return tracking number for your completed report.
