FBI Background Check (Channeler)
FBI Identity History Summary via FBI-Approved Channeler. Electronic capture and submission for personal review, visa, immigration, or apostille.
FBI Background Check (Channeler) applicants in Florida need a Level 2 Live Scan — a fingerprint-based FDLE (state) and FBI (national) background check submitted under ORI CJIS00000. Provn captures your prints in about 15 minutes and transmits them to FDLE within 24 hours, with an instant TCN for tracking.
Who needs FBI Background Check (Channeler) fingerprinting
Anyone needing an FBI Identity History Summary (for immigration, visas, or work abroad), plus TSA, HAZMAT, ATF/FFL, and USCIS applicants.
About this check
Federal programs submit to federal systems — sometimes through an FBI-approved channeler — which is a different path from a Florida state Level 2 check. For results used overseas, request the official FBI report so it can later be apostilled by the U.S. Department of State.
What this ORI needs
- The correct federal program details (we confirm the path before printing)
- For overseas use, request the official/apostille-ready report
- Any case or applicant number your program issued
Always confirm the ORI with your requesting agency — some programs use a position-specific code.
What you need
- A valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID
- This ORI:
CJIS00000 - About 15 minutes of your time — Walk-ins welcome
Always confirm the ORI with your requesting agency — some programs use a position-specific code.

Good to know
Is this the same as a state Level 2 check?
No. Federal programs (FBI Identity History Summary, TSA, ATF, USCIS) submit to federal systems, sometimes through an FBI-approved channeler. We confirm the right path for your program before we print.
Will I get an official copy I can apostille?
For FBI Identity History Summary results used abroad, request the official report — then it can be apostilled by the U.S. Department of State. Ask us and we'll point you to the right sequence.
How long does a federal check take?
Electronic FBI submissions can return in a few business days; mailed or manually-reviewed cases take longer. We give you a realistic timeline for your specific program.
