Florida FDLE Live Scan • Step-by-Step Guide How Does Live Scan Fingerprinting Work in Florida?
Need Live Scan fingerprinting or a Florida Level 2 background check for a job or professional license?
The process begins with the correct agency instructions and ends with electronic fingerprint submission.
At Oraz Fingerprinting in Hallandale Beach, we help you complete the fingerprinting step and keep the
transaction information you need to follow up with your agency.
01 Find Your Florida ORI Number
Before your visit, get the ORI (Originating Agency Identifier) or fingerprinting
instructions from your employer, licensing board, or requesting agency. The ORI identifies where
the screening request belongs. Certain applications also require an OCA number or
advance registration. Your requesting organization must confirm the correct information.
02 Prepare for Your Live Scan Appointment
Bring a valid government-issued photo ID, your ORI or agency instructions,
and any screening confirmation your program requires. Visit our Hallandale Beach location:
1920 E Hallandale Beach Blvd, Suite 639B.
Walk-ins are welcome 1:00 PM–5:00 PM during operating days.
03 Complete Your FDLE Live Scan Fingerprinting
Our technician captures your fingerprints electronically using a Live Scan device and submits
the information through the authorized FDLE route for the ORI provided.
When required by the requesting program, a compliant photograph or additional information may
also be collected during your appointment.
04 Save Your TCN and Check Your Fingerprint Status
After submission, keep your TCN (Transaction Control Number).
You can use it to check your transaction status through the FDLE lookup system.
Your screening results go through the authorized agency process;
the fingerprinting appointment itself does not determine licensing or employment eligibility.
After your fingerprints are submitted:
Oraz Fingerprinting provides the submission reference for your records. FDLE and the authorized
receiving agency handle subsequent processing and review. A TCN status update does not necessarily
mean the agency has completed its own decision.
Who Needs Fingerprinting in Florida?
Live Scan fingerprinting may be required for certain Florida jobs, licenses, volunteer roles,
and background checks. Here are some common reasons people are asked to get fingerprinted.
The agency requesting your screening determines which submission route and ORI apply.
Healthcare, nursing & caregiving:
Registered nurses (RNs), licensed practical nurses (LPNs), certified nursing assistants (CNAs),
home health aides, caregivers, assisted living personnel, and certain AHCA- or
Florida Department of Health (DOH)-regulated applicants may need fingerprint-based screening.
Education, childcare & community programs:
Teachers seeking certification, some school staff and school contractors, childcare and daycare
workers, summer camp and youth program staff, foster care applicants, and certain volunteers or
nonprofit personnel may need screening. Public school employees generally follow their school
district's fingerprinting instructions.
Professional, business & liquor licensing:
Depending on the license and agency, fingerprinting may apply to real estate agents and brokers,
appraisers, security officers, private investigators, contractors, community association managers,
and certain liquor license or alcoholic beverage business applicants through DBPR/ABT.
Beauty, massage & wellness:
Florida massage therapists and massage establishment owners are among the applicants subject to
fingerprint-based screening. Other beauty, cosmetology, nail salon, or spa applicants should check
their specific licensing instructions before scheduling; requirements are not identical.
Not sure which fingerprinting service or ORI you need?
Check with your employer, school, licensing board, or requesting agency before booking.
Some programs require their own approved provider, registration, or submission process.
