Results of a Pilot Test of the FBI Civil Fingerprint File

Abstract

This study examined the feasibility of using the Federal Bureau of Investigation civil file for purposes of detecting identity fraud. A pilot test was conducted using fingerprints and other identifying information for 1,143 military applicants who processed through the Los Angeles Military Entrant Processing Station between December 2004 and May 2005. The FBI search attempted to match fingerprints from these applicants against their Civil File. Results demonstrated that FBI civil fingerprint file searches can identify individuals whose fingerprints have been submitted to the FBI for multiple purposes. For example, fingerprints could be submitted for immigration purposes and then later for civilian employment or security clearance. Therefore, individuals who misrepresent their citizenship and/or immigration history would be detected. Additionally, individuals who attempt to submit different names, places and dates of birth, and physical characteristics than are on file with the FBI will be detected.
