FDLE Fingerprinting / Florida Background Checks in Alabama  

Fast LiveScan Services for FDLE Submissions

Alabama Fingerprint Solutions is proud to offer professional FDLE fingerprinting (Florida Department of Law Enforcement) services for individuals and professionals who need to submit electronic fingerprints for Florida state background checks — even if you live or work outside of Florida.

Whether you’re applying for healthcare licensure, real estate, insurance, teaching certification, or any other Florida-regulated profession, we provide quick, accurate LiveScan fingerprinting that gets transmitted directly to FDLE.

Why FDLE Fingerprinting Is Required

Many Florida agencies and licensing boards require a Level II background screening through the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. This includes the following:

  • Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA)
  • Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR)
  • Florida Department of Health
  • Department of Children and Families (DCF)
  • Florida Board of Medicine, nursing, pharmacy, and many more

FDLE performs both state and national (FBI) criminal history checks. Results are typically returned within 3 to 7 business days after submission.

Important: You Need Your ORI Number

Before scheduling, you must obtain the correct 9-character Originating Agency Identifier (ORI) from the Florida agency or licensing board requesting your fingerprints. This code determines routing and fees.

 How to Find Your ORI:

  1. Contact the HR department or licensing board directly
  2. Check your application packet or onboarding documents
  3. Use the FDLE Applicant ORI Search Tool for validation

Our FDLE LiveScan Process

We use FBI-certified LiveScan equipment to capture high-quality electronic fingerprints. During your appointment:

  1. Bring a valid government-issued photo ID (driver’s license, passport, military ID, etc.)
  2. Provide the ORI number you provided when you made an appointment
  3. We capture your fingerprints and photo (if required)
  4. We transmit the file electronically to the FDLE immediately
  5. You receive a transaction number and status link via email

No ink cards are needed for most FDLE submissions — LiveScan is the required electronic method.
