We are unable to locate your request at this time.

The current processing time for an FBI Background Check is taking 14-16 weeks to complete from the date the request was received. It can take 14+ weeks for a request to clear our security process, so we are not able to see the request in our system until then.


At this time we are opening mail we received on approximately November 6, 2017. We are unable to verify the delivery of a package until it is opened. If you submitted your request by courier (Fed Ex, UPS, or USPS), please view their web site to verify delivery.

I have checked that option in USPS
It got delivered

You should probably wait since they are at your date already. Plus, eDO is now 5 business day processing, so you may not gain much in terms of speed if you applied via eDO now.

Sharing my story as it may help others:
I had submitted my paper application for FBI PCC on 30th Nov 2017 & I was still waiting for response when they opened eDO process. By the current processing time for paper application, I would have received it probably by Mar end; So I thought to apply for eDO. I submitted my eDO order as well; but before taking my fingerprints again and mailing them to FBI again, I thought to call FBI at 304-625-5590 and check with them if they can use my same fingerprints (that I submitted earlier) for eDO. They said they can do that and accordingly asked me to email my eDO confirmation along with name, address and courier tracking number for paper application. I sent all those details at identity@fbi.gov on 12th Feb & today I have received my PCC.

Today I got my PCC via online. I see that everything is black and white, even the symbol. i have opted for mail as well which might take 3 weeks. Has anyone compared both. is there a difference since IRCC has said it should be colour scanned.

thats interesting because in frequently asked questions they clearly mentioned they do not accept previous copies. but may be its case to case and of course your application was not opened yet.
