How Florida Level 2 Live Scan Works

We provide fingerprinting services for individuals required to complete a Florida Level 2 Background Check, including AHCA Level 2 Background Screening and FDLE submissions. Your fingerprints are captured electronically using Live Scan technology and securely transmitted to the appropriate Florida agency. After submission, you will receive a Transaction Control Number (TCN) to monitor the status of your background check.

How It Works

Get the Correct ORI Number

Before enrolling, get your ORI (Originating Agency Identifier) number from your employer or requesting agency. This number determines where your Florida background check results will be sent.

Enroll Online

Complete your online enrollment before visiting a location. Most Florida locations require online enrollment to generate your QR code and process your submission. A limited number of locations may accept walk-ins, but requirements vary by location.

Visit a Participating Location

Go to a participating Florida location to complete your fingerprinting session. Check in using your QR code or provide your ORI number at the counter, depending on the location.

Fingerprint Capture & Submission

Your fingerprints will be captured electronically and securely transmitted to FDLE or AHCA. AHCA applicants will also have a photo taken during their visit.

Receive Your TCN

After submission, you’ll receive a Transaction Control Number (TCN) by email. Provide this number to your employer or requesting agency to monitor the status of your background check.

    Level 2 screening is required for many regulated professions in Florida, including healthcare workers, childcare providers, real estate agents, security personnel, and other licensed professionals.

  • What is an ORI number and why is it required?

    The ORI (Originating Agency Identifier) tells FDLE where to send your background check results. You must obtain the correct ORI number from your employer or requesting agency before fingerprinting.

  • What do I need to bring to my appointment?

    Bring a valid government-issued photo ID and your ORI number. Some locations may also require online enrollment prior to your visit.

    Online enrollment is required at most Florida locations. Some locations may accept walk-ins, but requirements vary.
