Production

The Federal Bureau of Investigation cooperated in the filming of FBI Code 98, with sequences filmed in Washington, D.C., and Quantico, Virginia.

The working title of the film was Headquarters F.B.I. with screenwriter and producer Stanley Niss having a novelization of the screenplay published under that title. Niss, a former police reporter, had written episodes for the radio shows Gangbusters and Counterspy and episodes of several Warner Bros. Television shows. Niss also visited the set to smooth difficulties between Ray Danton and director Leslie H. Martinson.

The film reuses Max Steiner's score for The FBI Story arranged by Howard Jackson.
