Most fingerprint visits take about 10 minutes. Bringing the right things means you'll only need to make one trip.
For every appointment
- A valid, government-issued photo ID: driver's license, state ID or passport. It must not be expired.
- Payment: we accept cash, credit and debit cards, Zelle, Apple Pay and Google Pay.
For Florida Livescan
- Your ORI number from the agency or employer requesting the check. Here's how to find it.
- For AHCA screenings, nothing extra: we take the required photo at your visit.
For an FBI background check
- Any instructions or forms from the country or organization requesting the check
- Call us first, and we'll confirm what your destination needs
For FD-258 ink cards
- Any blank cards or instructions your agency sent you (we also have standard FD-258 cards)
- Your agency's ORI number, if it gave you one
Tips for clear prints
- Skip heavy hand lotion on the day of your appointment
- If your hands are very dry, wash them and let them air-dry before you come in
- Avoid fresh cuts or bandages on your fingertips if you can reschedule
Walk-ins are welcome Monday–Friday, 9AM–5PM at all three offices. Book online to keep your wait short.
This guide is general information, not legal advice. Requirements change, and the agency requesting your background check has the final say. Results and decisions come from FDLE, the FBI and the requesting agency.
