  Identification Record.

  Record is obtained from fingerprint submissions,
  disposition reports, and other information
  submitted by agencies having criminal justice
  responsibilities.

Background Checks for Employment or Licensing

• If you are requesting a background check for
  employment or licensing within the U.S., you may
  be required to submit your request through your
  state identification bureau, the requesting
  federal agency, or another authorized channeling
  agency. You should contact the agency requiring
  the background check or the appropriate state
  identification bureau (or state police) for the
  correct procedures to follow, because the
  procedures are different for each agency.
