    submitting florida fingerprints from outside the state or country

    Fingerprinting requirements in Florida are very specific. Please follow the seven steps below in their entirety.

    1. 1
      Get Fingerprinted

      You must find a participating law enforcement agency or fingerprinting company to provide fingerprint cards and capture your fingerprints. Two entire FBI Applicant FD-258 cards must be completed and are generally provided for you. However, you may need to request these cards from the applicable agency requesting the background check (e.g. Florida Department of Health). Inform the fingerprint technician that you need to be fingerprinted on two of the fingerprint cards for your Florida background check.

      You will keep one card in your possession, and another card will be sent to our offices. You can search for a location here.

    2. 2
      Complete Card Information

      Be sure to complete all of the necessary information on both fingerprint cards:

      • Full Name
      • Address
      • Signature
      • Date of Birth
      • Sex
      • Race
      • Height
      • Weight
      • Eye Color
      • Hair Color
      • Place of Birth
      • Social Security Number *
      • Driver’s License Number **
      • ORI Number ***

      * Include your social security number in the SOC field on the cards. If you do not have a SSN, write “Not Available” in that field.

      ** Include your driver’s license number in the MISC field on the cards. If you do not have a driver’s license number, provide another government ID number such as a passport number in that field.

      *** If you have not yet received your ORI Number or cannot locate it, please contact the agency in charge of your licensing or certification.

We will email you a confirmation that it has been submitted to Florida and provide you with a Transaction Control Number (TCN) for reference. Please retain this for your records.

    7. 7
      Wait For Results

      Check with the Controlling Agency that is processing your background check for results (i.e., the Florida Board of Nursing). They will provide you with the status of your background check.
