    How far back are Indiana fingerprint cards sent to the FBI?
    How are back does Indiana sent their fingerprinting (manual card) and arrest records to the FBI?
    Do they send every confiction to the FBI for their file?

    Is there a way that I can check my fingerprint records for myself with the FBI?

    Thanks,

    I don't know how far back they go or if they send every conviction to the fbi. But it is possible to check your own record with them:

    States have combined and sent their records to the federal system.

    Also your fingerprint record and your criminal record are two separate files, fingerprint is only identification, these consist of criminal arrests, job hiring, gun permits, military and more.

    The Federal Gpvernment started the records in 1924 in the National Bureau of Criminal Identification which became the base for the FBI system ( by 1946 they had over a 100 million fingerprint cards on file)


    The FBI's Integrated AFIS (IAFIS) in Clarksburg, WV has more than 54 million individual computerized fingerprint records for known criminals. Old paper fingerprint cards for the civil files are still manually maintained in a warehouse facility (rented shopping center space) in Fairmont, WV, though most enlisted military service member fingerprint cards received after 1990, and all military-related fingerprint cards received after 19 May 2000, have now been computerized and can be searched internally by the FBI. In the "Next Generation" of IAFIS, the FBI may make civil file AFIS searches available to US law enforcement agencies through remote interface. The FBI is also planning to expand their automated identification activities to include other biometrics such as palm, iris and face.

    But actually Homeland Security has a larger computer fingerprint record file, even larger than FBI, the Homeland secuity has over 74 million.

    If you were ever fingerprinted, the FBI has them, either in card status, not computerised, or in their computer system.

    Your criminal background or criminal history file is keep in a system called NCIC, that is your criminal record and you can check it at the local police station ( or one in your area) in some places they city don't run them, but the county sheriff office does, in other areas it is the other way.
