Get Your FBI Background Check
Miami Dade Apostille helps prepare your request and works with a channeler to process eligible FBI Identity History Summary requests. We are not the FBI or any government agency. Use this form to start your request — our office will review it and contact you with next steps.
Channeler eligibility
FBI channeling is generally available to U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents located in the United States. If you are outside the U.S. or are not a U.S. citizen or LPR, please call us or email us before submitting, or submit directly through the FBI directly . International kit shipping is a separate question from channeler eligibility.
Mail-In
