FDLE fingerprinting — electronic Florida submission from out of state

Applying for a Florida license from Oregon or Washington? Florida requires your background-check fingerprints submitted electronically — even from out of state. We're an authorized FDLE vendor, so we capture your prints and transmit them straight to Tallahassee. One of the few ways to submit to Florida across state lines.

Authorized FDLE vendor Electronic cross-state submission State fees included

Florida requires fingerprint background screenings to be submitted electronically to FDLE and the FBI — including for out-of-state and international applicants. You can't just mail a card to most Florida agencies. As an authorized FDLE vendor, we transmit your prints electronically from right here in Portland Metro.

Why you're here

Who needs FDLE fingerprinting

If a Florida licensing board, employer, or agency asked for a fingerprint-based background check and you're not in Florida, this is the page for you. We capture your prints digitally and submit them electronically to FDLE using your ORI number — clean, compliant, and routed to the right agency the first time.

Have your ORI number ready. An ORI (Originating Agency Identifier) tells FDLE which profession and agency your results go to. Your licensing board or employer provides it. Booking an appointment? Enter it during booking. Walking in? Bring it with you.

Common Florida screenings
  • Real estate license (DBPR)
  • Healthcare / AHCA Level 2 screening
  • Boards of Medicine & Nursing
  • Cosmetology, construction & CAM licenses
  • Teaching & school employment
  • Adoption & foster care

Not sure which ORI or screening level you need? Call or text and we'll confirm before you come in.
