Does anyone know the best way to get the Police clearance from FBI in the US ? THere is too much confusing info on the web on this topic. Anyone who has successfully done it can you help me out. THanks!
You first need to have your fingerprints taken and placed onto the FBI FD-258 card. I suggest you have two sets taken, just in case there's a problem with one or more of the prints from the first card.
You then send the card(s), along with the FBI form to their office in West Virginia. The cost is $18 (USD) and it takes about 13-15 weeks to get the results.

Even though the FBI uses approved 3rd party Channelers, to expedite the process, CIC will NOT accept letters from Channelers.
You must make your request directly with the FBI.
Follow the instructions, here:
