FBI Tweaks Its 'Gimme My Rap Sheet' Form Again
Published Date: 10/7/2026
Notice
Summary
The FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services wants to update the Identity History Summary Request Form (1-783) and is asking for your feedback by November 5, 2026. This affects anyone who requests their criminal history info and aims to make the process easier and faster, possibly with more electronic options. No big cost changes are expected, but your input helps keep things smooth and user-friendly!
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
You can request your FBI identity record
You can request a copy of your FBI Identity History Summary (your criminal history record) by submitting the Identity History Summary Request Form (1-783). The Department of Justice Order 556-773 directs the FBI to publish rules to give subjects access to arrest and conviction records, and the Department determined that 28 U.S.C. 534 does not prohibit subjects from getting those records.
Estimated time and cost to request records
The FBI estimates 74,438 people will use the form each year, that each respondent will spend about 5 minutes, for a total annual time burden of 6,203 hours, and calculates an annual ‘‘other costs’’ burden of $171,947 (using a $27.72 average hourly wage).
Proposal seeks electronic submission to reduce burden
The FBI is revising the Form 1-783 and asks for public comment through November 5, 2026; the agency expressly seeks ways to "minimize the burden" on respondents, including using automated or electronic techniques and permitting electronic submission of responses. You can submit comments on these proposed collection changes at www.reginfo.gov within the 30-day comment period.
