About Guardian Fingerprinting

Guardian Fingerprinting offers LiveScan Fingerprinting for employment background checks, criminal histories, and professional licensing requirements in the state of Florida. We are certified by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) and the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) for Level I and Level II background check submissions. With LiveScan your fingerprints are captured electronically on our scanner by rolling them across a glass plate. This eliminates the need for old-style ink and cards. No mess required. Your fingerprints are then sent directly to FDLE. No more wondering if your cards got lost in the mail. We also provide electronic fingerprinting and archiving for ATF Form 1 and Form 4 submissions.

What is LiveScan Fingerprinting?

LiveScan Fingerprinting utilizes a specialized scanner to capture high resolution digital images of an individual’s fingerprints. To capture these images, your fingerprints are rolled across a glass plate and scanned. No ink and no mess. These digital fingerprints are then transmitted electronically to authorized agencies for processing and analysis. Each fingerprint is captured with precision which reduces errors and expedites the overall process. This is great for time-sensitive applications such as employment screenings or criminal background checks.

What do I need to bring with me to my appointment?

A valid government issued photo ID (Driver's License, State-Issued Identification Card, U.S. Passport or Passport Card, Military ID, or Resident Alien Card). Expired Identification will not be accepted.
Social Security Number
ORI Number
If fingerprinting for DCF, please have your OCA Number along with your OCI Number.

What is an ORI number?

An Originating Agency Identifier Number (ORI) will be provided by your Employer or Regulatory agency. An ORI number is required for all LiveScan fingerprint submissions to FDLE. It is your responsibility to provide the correct ORI number to Guardian Fingerprinting.

What is an OCA number?

The OCA number is the Controlling Agency Identifier provided to DCF to identify the provider requesting the background check. FDLE cannot process the background request without both an ORI and OCA number. Refunds will not be provided for incorrect ORI or OCA numbers.

Do I get a copy of my background check?

No. The information is sent electronically to your prospective employer or licensing department.

How can I check to see if my fingerprints were successfully submitted to FDLE?

You can check the status of your screening with FDLE by entering your Transaction Control Number (TCN) here: https://cchinet.fdle.state.fl.us/search/app/tcnlookup?3

Can I use the same fingerprinting results for multiple purposes?

No. Each agency requires its own set of fingerprints. Fingerprints cannot be shared between agencies.

What methods of payment do you accept?

We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Cash. We do not accept personal checks.

Do I need to make an appointment?

While we prefer everyone to have an appointment, we do understand sometimes it is not possible. If you come in without an appointment, we will be happy to assist you, but please understand that there could be a slightly longer wait. Please call us at 386-353-6366 and we will assist you in finding the best time to come in.
