Accurate Biometrics Awarded Fingerprint Channeling Contract with the FBI

Based in Chicago, Accurate Biometrics has now been awarded a contract with the American FBI. The largest fingerprint service provider in the US, this is the second contract awarded to this company associated with the FBI. For the next 5 years, Accurate Biometrics will be working with the FBI to make sure that the US government is up to date on the latest innovations in Biometrics, ideally protecting national security.

Accurate Biometrics was historically the first group to provide fingerprints for individuals who want a review of their FBI criminal history or verification that a related criminal record does not exist. Now referred to as Departmental Order 556-73, this process is being used in immigration and visas as well as adoptions including international adoptions.

Before hiring Accurate Biometrics, FBI criminal history reviews could take up to 8 weeks at a time. However, Accurate Biometrics is currently able to offer same day services and results for the same exact information in its Chicago office and a wait time of less than 5 days when scanned from one of the other 60 fingerprint sites in Illinois or through US mail.

Accurate Biometrics also holds a contract with the state of Illinois for Master fingerprinting. Currently serving 2000 clients, Accurate Biometrics is currently a female owned small business.

“As the new contract term steps off, we are honored to serve the national and international biometrics community with our knowledge of the industry and opportunity to meet the needs of our clients through channeling and departmental order processing.” Peggy Critchfield, Accurate Biometrics president.
