I have applied for a job in financial services and they require a FBI fingerprint background check. My question is this:

1) If I have a pending arrest charge for a traffic violation and was fingerprinted but have not yet gone to court, will it show up on FBI background check? It happened in Georgia, or will it be submitted to FBI after case is closed?

Please help if you know the answer

Thanks

A FBI fingerprint check merely checks to see if you are who you say you are, to see if you were ever fingerprinted under another name.

They will then run a criminal background check, from that info, that will show up any conviction, not arrest. ** I will have to ask what charge for traffic you were fingerprinted for, a DUI in Georgia is the only one I can think of ( a past officer in GA) If it is a real traffic violation, and you would not sign the ticket or something and make them arrest you ( we got a few of those legal experts every year) then it is still a trafffic ticket and traffic tickets don't show up on criminal history either just on you DMV record. On a DUI, these show up as a criminal history. But only after the conviction.

All the FBI keep on file if the fingerprint, your ID and why you were fingerprinted ( but the why is not given out to anyone but police)

So a pending trail for a misdemeanor such as petty theft will not show? Only convictions?
