What is a UPIN ?

Unique Personal Identification Number. Issued by FBI?BATFE (forget which) primarily for those who have very common names and I suspect those whose have experienced stolen identification would benefit also. The UPIN is assigned after you submit fingerprints and whatever other documents they require to establish you are NOT the person who keeps popping up as disqualified in a background check.
Muss, if you return to this thread, and have received a UPIN, how long did it take?
OP
So, after four to six weeks, I received a response which contained the NCIC report that was as I expected it to be, but no UPIN and no direction as to how to move forward. So I gave up . . .
Jeez. Maybe call 'em up?
My younger brother has a common name and occasionally gets flagged during transfers. Was thinking of recommending getting a UPIN to him.

I dont know why I was flagged but It happened at some point going forward. But before that I never had any problems. So I applied for one and got it. Only Delays after that. which meant to me that background checks were swamped on those days...
