LEVEL 2 BACKGROUND CHECK FOR A FLORIDA NURSING LICENSE

FDLE Approved Live Scan Vendor

Accurate Biometrics offers fast, easy live scan fingerprinting for a Florida Nursing License Level 2 background check requirement. You can get your fingerprints and photo taken by a trained technician at one of over 50 live scan fingerprinting Kiosks located in The UPS Store® locations throughout the state.

If you have questions about what to bring, please take a look at the checklist below. If you’re ready to get started, click the GET FINGERPRINTING button. Questions? Call 866-361-9944 or use the chat feature on this page.

Follow these simple steps to complete your Florida Level 2 fingerprint background check requirement for nurse licensure:

  1. Go to the Florida Department of Health website to obtain an ORI number and your Electronic Fingerprint Form: http://www.floridahealth.gov/licensing-and-regulation/index.html

  2. Use your Live Scan Request Form as a reference to register online for fingerprinting.

  3. Bring your registration confirmation email (printed or on your phone) along with your current (not expired) driver’s license, government issued identification card, or passport to the fingerprinting Kiosk location of your choosing. (You will choose your location after clicking the GET FINGERPRINTING button below.) Please call us at (866) 361-9944 if you have any questions.

  4. The fingerprints and photo that are captured by the technician at the fingerprinting Kiosk are sent to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE). The FDLE then sends the fingerprints to the FBI for processing. The results are then disseminated back to the Florida Department of Health Clearinghouse. Once the results are received from FDLE, the average processing time for clearance is approximately 3-5 business days.

  5. You will receive an email providing you with a Transaction Control Number (TCN) that verifies your live scan submission has been processed. The TCN number can be given to the company that is requesting the background check as it will help them track results. IMPORTANT: Please save your TCN number for reference.
