Instead of traditional ink and paper cards, Live Scan fingerprinting uses advanced digital devices to capture your fingerprints electronically. Once collected, your fingerprint data is securely transmitted to the appropriate state agency (such as the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE)) for quick and efficient processing.
By eliminating manual handling of paper fingerprint cards, Live Scan delivers faster turnaround times while ensuring highly accurate images and reducing the chance of errors or rejections.
