Official agencies and where they fit.

Fingerprinting touches more agencies than most people expect. FDLE processes the submission and holds Florida criminal history. The FBI runs the national portion. Whichever agency requested your screening — AHCA, the Department of Health, DCF, DBPR, APD, a school district — owns the ORI your results route to, and is who you follow up with about status.

That last point is the one worth remembering. We capture and transmit; the agency receives and decides. If a result is slow or a determination is disputed, the agency holding your ORI is the right call to make, not us. The links below go straight to the source rather than to a summary of it.

Fingerprinting and apostille are separate services. A federal document such as an FBI check is authenticated in Washington; a Florida document is authenticated in Tallahassee. We run both through sister services rather than handling them on this site.

Agency websites get reorganised and URLs move. If a link here does not resolve, search the agency name rather than assuming the programme has ended — and tell us, because we would rather fix it than leave it broken.

More usefully: nothing on this page overrides what the agency screening you actually told you. If their instructions and a page here disagree, follow theirs, then call (561) 570-6006 and we will work out which applies before you book.
