For FBI background check requests, you must submit:
- A complete set of fingerprints on FBI form FD-258. The "Reason Fingerprinted" block must contain "Personal Records Check."
- A money order or certified check in the amount of $18.00, payable to the U.S. Treasury.
- A letter stating that the check is needed for personal reasons (be sure to include your name and return address).
Submit the above 3 items to:
CJIS Division
Attention: SCU

Clarksburg WV 26306
Tel: (304) 625-3878
The findings of the background check will be mailed directly to the applicant. If no FBI record is found the fingerprint card will be stamped indicating "no record found". If there is a record found a copy of the record will be attached to the fingerprint card submitted (no stamp will be on the back of the fingerprint card).
The applicant cards and fingerprinting services are available at the Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification (3888 West 5400 South, Salt Lake City), Monday thru Thursday from 7:00 am to 5:30 pm at a cost of $13.00 per person. We are closed Fridays, weekends, and state holidays.
You can also check with local police departments, motor vehicle offices, or private industries for these services. Do not contact the FBI for fingerprinting.
