How do I submit a Live Scan in Florida?
To submit a Live Scan in Florida, start by obtaining the correct ORI number from the agency requesting your background check. Then, visit the Certifix Florida locations page to find a nearby provider. Some locations require you to enroll online, while others allow walk-ins or appointment scheduling. We recommend calling ahead to confirm availability and instructions for your chosen location.
If you enroll online, you don’t need to bring any documents or make a payment at the location—you’ll be prepaid and simply need to show your QR code at check-in. For walk-in or scheduled appointments, bring a valid photo ID, your ORI number, and be prepared to pay at the time of service (usually $50–$100).
After your fingerprints are submitted to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE)—and the FBI, if required—you’ll receive a Transaction Control Number (TCN) to track your results. The background check results will be sent directly to the requesting agency, usually within 1 to 5 business days.
For out-of-state applicants, online enrollment is required, and you can complete everything by selecting a location and service on the Certifix website.
