What is FDLE Live Scan?
Live Scan is a digital fingerprinting method that electronically captures your fingerprints and transmits them directly to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement for processing. Unlike traditional ink methods, Live Scan offers faster processing (24-72 hours vs. 4-6 weeks), higher accuracy with real-time quality checks, and eliminates the need for paper cards. Available in-office in Irving or at your location throughout DFW.
Benefits of Live Scan vs. Ink Cards
- Faster results (24-72 hours vs. 4-6 weeks)
- Higher accuracy with digital quality checks
- No ink mess or smudged prints
- Direct electronic submission to FDLE
- Lower rejection rate than paper cards
Digital advantage: Electronic quality control means poor prints are recaptured on the spot — before submission — giving you a far higher acceptance rate with FDLE than mailed ink cards.
FDLE Background Checks from Outside Florida
You don’t have to be in Florida to complete a Florida background check.
Who Needs an Out-of-State FDLE Submission?
- Florida professional licenses — nursing, real estate, education, healthcare, DBPR trades
- Florida employment requiring agency background screening before relocation
- Level 2 background screening requests routed with the ORI your Florida agency provides
- AHCA healthcare screening — we also transmit to Florida’s Agency for Health Care Administration Background Screening Clearinghouse, including the required applicant photo, captured at your appointment
- Dual-state license holders maintaining Florida credentials while living in Texas
- Florida security and firearms permits with fingerprint requirements
How It Works from DFW
Your Florida agency gives you an ORI number — the routing code that tells FDLE where to send your results. Bring it (or whatever paperwork you have) to your appointment. We capture your fingerprints digitally in about 15-20 minutes, run real-time quality checks, and transmit directly to FDLE (or to the AHCA Clearinghouse for healthcare screening) with your ORI attached. Some Florida ORIs — including Clearinghouse submissions — require an applicant photo taken at the time of fingerprinting; we capture that on the spot, so there’s nothing extra to bring. Most submissions go out the same day, and FDLE typically processes them in 24-72 hours — often the next business day, and your results go straight to the requesting agency. No ink cards, no overnight mail, no flight to Florida.

Don’t Have Your FDLE ORI Number? Here’s How to Find It
The ORI (Originating Agency Identifier) is a 9-character code that tells FDLE which Florida agency should receive your background check results. Most applicants get blindsided by this requirement because Florida agencies often bury the ORI in their instructions or assume you already have it. Without the correct ORI, your fingerprints can’t be properly routed and your application stalls. Here’s where to look:
- Check your application or license packet first. The ORI is usually printed in the fingerprinting instructions, on a fingerprint authorization form, or in the agency’s email to you. Look for a 9-character code starting with “FL” (e.g., FL923050Z).
- Search the requesting agency’s website. Florida licensing boards (Department of Health, Real Estate Commission, Department of Education, DBPR, etc.) often publish their ORI on the fingerprinting requirements page.
- Call the agency directly. Florida agencies will give you their ORI over the phone if you tell them you’re getting fingerprinted out of state. Have your application or applicant ID ready.
- Bring what you have to your appointment. We can help you verify common Florida licensing ORIs before submission. If we can’t confirm yours on the spot, we’ll capture your prints and submit once the correct ORI is confirmed — no second appointment needed.
Pro tip: Florida agencies also sometimes provide an “OCA” (Originating Case Agency) or “TCN” (Transaction Control Number). Bring everything the agency sent you — our technicians will figure out what’s needed.
