What is an FBI Identity History Summary Check

An FBI Summary Identity Check is a background report produced from U.S. federal criminal history records that can be used for employment, immigration, licensing, or personal verification purposes. PeerPact Expats coordinates and completes this service on behalf of clients, delivering certified results in a format accepted by many institutions.

    Employers, law firms, and credentialing bodies that require a U.S. federal-level identity search. 

    Individuals who need proof of U.S. criminal-history status for international processes. 

  • We run the entire intake and submission process, collect required identity documents, complete the FBI or summary check request forms, and handle payment. 

  • A clear government-issued photo ID (passport or U.S. driver’s license).
