What Is Live Scan Fingerprinting?
Live Scan fingerprinting refers to the digital method used to capture fingerprint images without the traditional ink-and-paper process. This technology is used by law enforcement agencies, state departments, and licensing boards to perform fast, accurate identity verification and background checks.
Digital Live Scan helps agencies:
-
Identify individuals during criminal investigations
-
Screen for disqualifying criminal history
-
Check national and state sex offender registries
-
Confirm identity for employment or licensing
-
Maintain compliance with statutory background check requirements
Because the scans are captured electronically, the process is clean, quick, and highly secure.
What Is a Level 2 Background Check?
-
A Level 2 Background Check involves a fingerprint-based search through the FBI’s National Criminal Information Center (NCIC) along with Florida’s State criminal databases. These screenings are required for positions of trust, including:
-
Healthcare professionals
-
Teachers and school employees
-
Childcare workers
-
Security officers
-
Real estate and mortgage professionals
-
Adult and elder care providers
-
Government and public safety roles
-
A Level 2 check ensures individuals have no disqualifying criminal offenses and meet Florida’s strict employment and licensing standards.
How Live Scan Level 2 Fingerprinting Works?
Apex Fingerprinting makes the entire process fast and stress-free:
Step 1: Bring Your Required Information
You’ll need:
-
A valid government-issued photo ID
-
Your ORI number (provided by your employer or licensing board)

Any additional instructions from the requesting agency
Step 2: Digital Fingerprint Capture
Your fingerprints are scanned electronically using FBI and FDLE-approved biometric equipment.
No ink. No mess. No long wait times.
Step 3: Quality Verification
Our technicians ensure your prints meet national quality standards to reduce the chance of delays or rejections.
Step 4: Immediate Submission
Your fingerprints are transmitted within minutes to the appropriate FBI and FDLE certified channeling agencies for processing.
Step 5: Receive Your TCN
You’ll receive a Transaction Control Number (TCN), which allows you and your agency to track the status of your background check. The entire session takes approximately five to ten minutes.
