What is an R-84 form?

• A. Final Disposition Report - must submit to FBI after final disposition on criminal charges on suspect for whom FD-249 was submitted
• B. Request for Investigation - submit to FBI
• C. Rapid Data Entry Form - submit to FBI
• D. Report of Fingerprint Discrepancy - submit to FBI

Answer: (A)

R-84 is the Final Disposition Report you submit to the FBI to close the record on a case. It documents the final outcome of criminal charges for a suspect for whom an FD-249 was previously submitted, including the disposition date, the exact disposition (conviction, acquittal, dismissal, nolle prosequi, etc.), the court involved, the case number, and any sentence or conditions. This keeps the FBI’s criminal history and related databases accurate and up-to-date, which is essential for reliable background checks and proper recordkeeping. Other options describe different kinds of requests or reports that aren’t about recording the final outcome of charges, so they don’t fit the purpose of this form.
