We offer a variety of background checks, including criminal background checks, employment background checks, and education verification.
Our criminal background checks can go back as far as the law allows, typically 7-10 years for most types of criminal records. However, certain states may have different laws regarding how long criminal records can be reported.
We take privacy very seriously and adhere to strict protocols to protect the personal information of the individuals being checked. Our system is secure and all information is kept confidential and only shared with authorized parties as necessary.
The Live Scan fingerprinting process is quick, typically taking 10 minutes, including paperwork, ID verification, and fingerprint capture.
The processing time for Live Scan results varies based on several factors:
✔ Standard Processing: FDLE a take 1–5 days, while FBI checks take 3–5 days.
✔ Agency Timelines: Employers, licensing boards, or requesting agencies may take additional time for review.
✔ Rejections & Resubmissions: Poor-quality fingerprints may require resubmission, causing further delays.
Overall, results are typically available within a few days to two weeks, depending on the agency and background check complexity.
No, Live Scan fingerprinting results cannot be reused for multiple purposes. Each submission is linked to a specific agency and background check request based on the ORI (Originating Agency Identifier) number.
Why Live Scan Results Are Not Transferable:
✔ Agency-Specific Processing – Each fingerprint submission is tied to a specific purpose (employment, licensing, legal checks) and sent directly to the requesting agency. ✔ Confidentiality & Security – Privacy laws prevent agencies from sharing results with other organizations. ✔ Unique Background Check Requirements – Different agencies have varying screening criteria, requiring separate fingerprint submissions.
If you need Live Scan fingerprinting for multiple purposes, you must complete the process separately for each request, ensuring each submission is directed to the correct agency with the required ORI number.

If the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) rejects your fingerprints, it’s usually due to poor quality scans that cannot be processed for a background check. Here’s what to expect and how to resolve it:
✔ Rejection Notification – FDLE will inform the requesting agency, and you may also receive direct notice of the issue. Common reasons include smudging, incomplete prints, or low resolution.
✔ Free Reprint Submission – FDLE allows you to resubmit fingerprints at no extra cost. Simply call us to schedule another Live Scan appointment to have them retaken. We do our best to make sure that the prints are good.
✔ Resubmission Deadline – You typically have 90 days to submit new prints to avoid processing delays.
✔ Tips for Better Prints:
✔ FBI Rejections – If FDLE forwards prints to the FBI, but they also get rejected, you may need another submission. If rejected multiple times, alternative background check methods may be used.
