Hello Teaching Nomad teachers,

Teaching Nomad Recruiting has partnered with Accurate Biometrics to provide Teaching Nomad teachers with the best FBI channeling service for the lowest national rate and a speedy turnaround time.

Accurate Biometrics and Teaching Nomad have created a customized process specifically for the needs of teachers applying to teach English in China, South Korea, or the Middle East. You’ll have the option of receiving a physical copy of the FBI check on White Secure Watermark paper to ensure that it can be apostilled by the US Department of State and accepted by Chinese, Korean, or Middle Eastern immigration.

Please follow the steps below to secure the correct FBI criminal history record and have it mailed directly to you.

Follow these simple steps to get your FBI Background Check:

Step 1: Complete the Applicant Information Form

  • Print and complete the Applicant Information Form.
