Level 2 Background Check Palm Beach County

What Level 2 Means

Fingerprint-Based State and National Criminal History Screening

A Florida Level 2 background check is a fingerprint-based screening used for certain employment, licensing, healthcare, education, childcare and regulated-industry requirements.

Live Scan is the electronic fingerprint capture and submission process. The correct ORI, OCA, Clearinghouse request or agency-specific routing information determines where the results are sent.
