1.
				  Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI): If an individual is denied employment or
				  the opportunity to provide volunteer or contractual services because of
				  information appearing on the individual's FBI record and it comes to the
				  individual's attention that he is not the person of the record, the individual
				  may initiate a challenge of the information contained in the record. The
				  facility is required by state and federal laws to provide the individual with a
				  copy of the challenge procedures. The challenge procedures can be found at
https://www.fbi.gov/services/cjis/identity-history-summary-checks
.
2. Virginia State Police: In instances where
				  it comes to an individual's attention that his name or other descriptive
				  information is a matter of record in the Central Criminal Records Exchange, and
				  he is not the person of the record, then the individual may initiate a
				  challenge of the information contained in the record as provided at
http://www.vsp.state.va.us/CJIS_CCRE.shtm
.
				  The individual must report this information to a local sheriff, police, or
				  State Police Headquarters and request to be fingerprinted for the purpose of
				  challenging a criminal record. The individual to be fingerprinted must show
				  personal identification. The official taking the fingerprints must document on
				  letterhead paper that he has reviewed the individual's personal identification
				  and obtained the fingerprints. This letter and the fingerprints are to be
				  mailed to the following address: Manager Central Criminal Records Exchange
				  Virginia Department of State Police, P.O. Box 27472, Richmond, VA 23261-7472.
				  Within five workdays, the individual who initiated the challenge will receive
				  written confirmation of the fingerprint search results, whether he is or is not
				  the person of the record, and record modifications taken, if
				  applicable.
3. If an individual
				  successfully challenges information on a background check in accordance with
				  these procedures, the vendor may submit a request for a new background
				  investigation in order to obtain an accurate record.
