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.
