For ALL Florida Department of Health Out of State Applicants:
Note: Department of Health applicants by-mail can get a background check for licensing or endorsement purposes ONLY. To work in the state of Florida, a photo must be taken as part of the background check process. This allows the applicant to show up in the Clearinghouse a database where background checks can be shared solely for Florida state agencies. This process cannot be done by mail, and it is described on the Department of Health's website at: http://www.flhealthsource.gov/out-of-state-providers under hard scanning section. It is important to check the Department of Health's requirements for your background check process.
