The Advantage of Live Scan Technology
Live Scan is the electronic process of capturing fingerprints without the mess of ink. These digital prints are transmitted securely to government agencies for criminal history background checks using the Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS).
Why choose Digital Fingerprinting?

Results are typically processed and transmitted to the requesting agency within days.
Accuracy
Our software identifies smudge or quality issues immediately, allowing for instant correction.

Most Florida state agencies—including AHCA, DCF, and the Department of Health—now mandate electronic Live Scan submissions for Level 2 screenings.
