The FBI offers federal background checks.

Infact verdict: True (100/100).

The FBI does indeed offer federal background checks, primarily for personal use, such as reviewing individual criminal records. The checks are not intended for employment or licensing use without proper authorization and state statutes. Individuals can request their Identity History Summary through the FBI's CJIS Division, which requires fingerprinting and may involve additional procedures like drug testing depending on the purpose.
