How to get an FBI Background Check in Portugal

1. Book Your Appointment

Select your preferred date and time from our booking calendar in Porto, Lisbon or the Algarve.

2. Get Fingerprinted

We capture your fingerprints using digital, FBI-certified equipment with real-time quality checks.

Choose our expedited option and we’ll manage your FBI submission—or take your printed FD-258 cards with you to submit independently.

3. Submit Your Background Check

Getting an FBI background check from Portugal involves capturing high-quality fingerprints and submitting them correctly.

We make the process simple and reliable.

What our customers say:

Accurate

100% Acceptance Rate*

We've learned that 30-40% of our customers have either previously experienced difficulty having their fingerprints captured or have had applications from other providers rejected.

That's why, instead of ink, we only use modern digital live scan equipment with real time quality scoring for every fingerprint capture. We're proud to be the first provider in Portugal to do so and even more proud that we maintain a 100% application acceptance rate* as a result.

*Across 1st & 2nd submissions

Fast

FBI Check in 4-5 business days

We know that time is often critical for our clients. Immigration deadlines rarely allow room for slow government processing.

That's why we work with an FBI approved Channeler, allowing us to securely and compliantly process your application significantly faster than standard mail submissions to the FBI - which can be impacted due to high submission volumes, international mail processing & security checks or government shutdowns.

Reliable

Free retakes if needed

We wanted to create a service that just works - something that we would use ourselves and that our customers can trust.

That's why we stand by every fingerprint capture and application we submit and back them with our quality guarantee - if your fingerprints are rejected for low quality characteristics, we'll retake and/or reprocess your application at no additional cost.

How We Work

As expats, we know that getting your criminal background check often comes at high-stakes moments in the immigration journey. Delays, poor fingerprint quality, or rejected applications can jeopardize months (or even years) of effort - and potentially put the life you’ve built overseas at risk.

That’s why we built our services from the ground up to focus on accuracy, speed, and reliability - and why we do things a little differently.
