FDLE-approved electronic fingerprinting for Greenacres — captured and transmitted in one visit, with your ORI verified before you make the trip.
Live Scan is the method, not the requirement. It means your fingerprints are captured electronically on a certified scanner and transmitted straight to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, rather than rolled in ink and mailed. Almost every Florida agency that screens applicants now expects submissions this way, which is why “go get Live Scan” has become shorthand for the whole process.
What the phrase leaves out is the part that actually determines whether it works: routing. Your results go to whichever agency owns the ORI number your submission is filed under, and that number comes from whoever asked you to be screened. Bring it and everything lands where it should. Arrive without it, or with the wrong one, and the submission goes somewhere nobody is looking — which is the single most common reason people pay to be fingerprinted twice.
Adults volunteering unsupervised with children or vulnerable adults are commonly screened.
If an agency gave you an ORI number, the capture is the same and we submit to it.
Boards across Florida require fingerprint-based screening before a licence is issued, renewed, or reinstated.
Hospitals, nursing homes, home health agencies, and clinics screen staff before a start date is confirmed.
Schools, daycare centres, and youth programmes screen anyone working unsupervised with minors.
Vendors and contractors needing badged access to state or county facilities are screened first.
If you live in Greenacres and someone has told you to get fingerprinted, this page is the short version of what that actually involves. Greenacres is close enough that most appointments are a fifteen-minute drive, and the requirement is nearly always the same underneath: fingerprints captured properly, submitted to the right agency, the first time.
We serve clients across Greenacres including the Original Section, River Bridge, Olive Tree, Nautica Isles, and Pine Ridge, as well as nearby communities such as Palm Springs, Lake Worth Beach, and Wellington. Landmarks like Samuel Friedland Park, the Community Center, and the Jog Road corridor put us on familiar ground — this is home-turf service, not a mail-order queue.
Greenacres residents come to us mostly for healthcare employment and professional licensing, with a consistent volume of school and volunteer screening alongside it. The medical and eldercare employers along the Jog Road and Lake Worth Road corridors account for much of the rest.
At about fifteen minutes out it is one of the easier trips in the county. Weekend slots matter here more than people expect — a lot of the screening lands on shift workers who cannot easily take a weekday morning off to satisfy a requirement.
Our office is about 15 minutes from Greenacres. We book Monday to Saturday, usually same or next business day, and for companies we can bring the equipment to you. We also handle live scan fingerprinting for clients in nearby Palm Springs, Lake Worth Beach, Wellington.
People use these two terms as if they were interchangeable and they aren't. Live Scan describes the capture technology — electronic, no ink, transmitted digitally. Level 2 describes the depth of the background check itself: fingerprint-based, covering Florida records through FDLE and national records through the FBI. You get a Level 2 screening by means of a Live Scan capture.
The distinction matters when you're reading a requirement. A form asking for “Live Scan” is telling you the method and assuming you know the rest. A form asking for “Level 2” is telling you the standard and leaving the method to you. Either way you end up in the same chair — but if your form specifies an agency or a statute, that detail decides which ORI we file under, so bring the whole page rather than the one line.
Without the right ORI your results have nowhere to go, and routing cannot be corrected after submission.
A name-based search will not satisfy a fingerprint-based requirement, however recently it was run.
Some agencies want the application on file first so results have a record to attach to.
Most agencies want a result issued within the last six to twelve months. Old is treated the same as none.
The capture itself is the quick part — roughly ten minutes at the scanner, a little longer when a photo or a printed card is involved. Electronic submissions leave our office the same day, so nothing sits waiting on a courier or a weekly batch run.
What happens after that is the agency's clock, not ours. State and federal processing typically returns a result within a few business days, and posting to a board or to the Clearinghouse follows from there. If you are working against a start date or a filing deadline, say so when you book from Greenacres and we will tell you honestly whether the timeline is realistic rather than finding out later that it wasn't.
Call or send the request form. We confirm your appointment and verify your ORI on the callback.
Rolled and flat impressions on a certified scanner, with image quality checked as we go.
Transmitted to FDLE electronically before you leave. No envelope and no weekly batch.
FDLE returns results to the agency tied to your ORI, usually within a few business days.
One flat fee, all-in — the state fee, the federal fee, and the AHCA retention fee are already inside it. Nothing is added at your appointment, and we don't charge a separate rolling fee on top.
Need fingerprinting at your office or facility? We bring the equipment to you anywhere in Palm Beach County, Clearinghouse photo included. Call for a quote.
We check image quality at capture, which is where most problems get caught. If a submission is still rejected on the state side, we reprint you at no charge.
Sometimes — it depends on whether that state accepts an electronic submission from a Florida provider. Tell us the state and licence type when you call and we'll confirm before you book, rather than after.
The result is a snapshot of the day it ran. Most agencies want one issued within the past six to twelve months, and Clearinghouse results carry their own retention rules. Check the requirement rather than assuming an old result still counts.
Usually. Cuts, calluses, and worn ridges make capture harder but rarely impossible — we work through it carefully rather than rushing. If ridge detail is genuinely insufficient there are documented alternative procedures, and we'll explain them.
We transmit your submission and do not retain a personal fingerprint database. Retention on the state and federal side is governed by their own rules, not by us.
There is nothing to collect. Results route to the requesting agency tied to your ORI rather than to you or to us.
Level 2 screening applies to adults in positions of trust. Fingerprinting of minors happens in other contexts, such as some adoption processes, and we handle those with a parent or guardian present.
Appointments run Monday to Friday 9am to 6pm and Saturday noon to 5pm. We're closed Sundays. Slots are usually available the same or next business day.
