FDLE Approved Live Scan Vendor
Who should use our Fingerprint Card-Scan Service?
Fingerprint Ink Card-Scanning or Hard Card Scanning Services should be used by applicants needing Level 2 Background Checks who don't live near one of our collection sites. Licensure for Florida Real Estate, Nursing, or Doctors and many other ORIs can be processed.
NOTE: Florida agencies DCF, AHCA, and DOEA do not allow ink card / hard card scanned submissions.
You may visit an Accurate Biometrics fingerprinting Kiosk location as doing so will satisfy both the photo and fingerprint requirement. To find a Kiosk location near you click here.
Level 2 Background Check Requirements
Florida regulation mandates out-of-state applicants must submit electronic fingerprints with the appropriate State of Florida ORI numbers provided by the State agency requesting the background check. Applicants can utilize standard FBI fingerprint cards (FD-258) or FBI FD-258 form.

You can use an FBI FD-258 fingerprint card from your local sheriff's office, police department or the State agency that is requesting your fingerprint check, or you can use the one provided in the Forms Packet. Note: the FBI FD-258 fingerprint form may be printed on letter sized paper.
Note: All data fields highlighted in yellow must be written/printed legibly and completely filled-in on the fingerprint card or form to expedite the fingerprint card scan service. Be sure to include the ORI Number for your fingerprinting purpose.
