How to Submit a Live Scan in Florida

Submitting a Live Scan in Florida for a background check is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to ensure your submission is successful:

1. Obtain the Correct ORI Number

Before scheduling a Live Scan appointment, make sure you have the correct Originating Agency Identifier (ORI) number. This number is specific to the agency requesting your background check (e.g., Florida Board of Nursing, Department of Health) and ensures your results are sent to the right place.

You can obtain the ORI number from the requesting agency or their website.

2. Find a Certified Live Scan Provider

Schedule an appointment with a certified Live Scan fingerprinting provider in Miami or a provider near you. Options include:

• Our Services: We specialize in Live Scan fingerprinting in Miami, providing fast, reliable services for various needs, including AHCA Level 2 background checks and fingerprint cards in Miami.
• Other approved third-party providers or local law enforcement agencies.

3. Bring Required Documents

To your Live Scan appointment, bring:

• A valid government-issued photo ID (e.g., driver's license, passport).
• The ORI number specific to your background check.
• Payment for the Live Scan service, which typically ranges from $50 to $100.

4. Complete the Live Scan Fingerprinting

At your appointment, the provider will capture your fingerprints electronically using a digital scanner.

Your fingerprints will then be submitted directly to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) and, if applicable, the FBI.

5. Track Your Submission

After submission, you will receive a Transaction Control Number (TCN). Use this number to track your fingerprint submission status.

You can provide the TCN to the requesting agency or contact the Live Scan provider for updates.

6. Wait for Results

Results are sent directly to the agency requesting the background check (e.g., an employer or licensing board). Processing times typically range from 1 to 5 business days, depending on the agency and the complexity of the background check.
