The FBI's Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Division currently offers a Biographic Verification Service to noncriminal justice agencies as a way to obtain adjudicated criminal history information in cases where the required fingerprint image quality could not be achieved after two attempts for a fingerprint-based search. The service was implemented to ensure that individuals with poor quality fingerprints not be denied benefits, licensing, or employment opportunities due to non-discernible fingerprints. The information collected on the CJIS Biographic Verification Request form is required to ensure the agency requesting the service has the authority to request and obtain the results and to verify fingerprints were submitted and rejected twice for the individual of the request.
