FBI Background Check — Identity History Summary (DO 556-73)
The FBI Identity History Summary (Departmental Order 556-73) is a personal background check issued directly by the FBI. Results are delivered to you, not to an employer or agency. Common uses include immigration applications, green card petitions, visa requirements, international adoption, and personal records review.

If you were denied or delayed during a firearms purchase NICS check, you have the right to submit a fingerprint-based appeal to the FBI NICS Section.
