Local officers
electronically submit
prints of all subjects
booked to the FBI through
their state’s identification
bureau
Prints will be checked
automatically against FBI

What is the Technical Capability?What is the Technical Capability?
Criminal history and immigration identity information will be accessible to and shared among other Federal, State, and Local law enforcement agencies, as well as authorized non-criminal justice agencies
Interoperability eliminates the need for data extracts In addition to existing IAFIS processing, Interoperability enables:
– Search of full IDENT repository (90 million individuals)
– Biometric-based access to IDENT repository for the first time
– Searches against two-print and 10-print records in IDENT
– Returns results via the IDENT Data Response (IDR)
Interoperability between FBI’s IAFIS and DHS’s IDENT system
allows federal, state and local law enforcement
access to biometric-based immigration information for the first time
