OUT OF STATE CARD SCANNING
R.I. Investigations can also submit FBI fingerprint cards (FD-258) electronically to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE). Our Fingerprint Card Scanning service can be performed for Level II Live scan background check requirements. All received fingerprint cards are digitized within 24 hours upon receipt. Once completed, your fingerprints are electronically sent to FDLE for processing, (which can take 5 to 10 business days). Intended recipients (State Agencies) are notified of the results (We don't received the results). Please note: Every fingerprint submission needs an ORI# number. To obtain this number please contact the agency who is requesting the criminal background check.
The complete cost for this service is $95 and includes the following: Card Printing/Scanning, Electronic Submission to FDLE/FBI, and of course, the Level II Background Screening performed by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) and the FBI. DO NOT INCLUDE OR SEND A PAYMENT NOW. It is best to receive and review quality of your fingerprints FIRST. If fingerprints received are clear (or not), you will be notified by text, phone call, or email. If the quality is good, we will send you an invoice and a payment made within 24 hours of receiving the invoice. Simple.
Please follow these 4 simple steps carefully:
​
-
HAVE your fingerprints captured on an FBI FD-258 fingerprint card at your local Livescan service provider or police station/sheriff’s office. Make certain that the fingerprint card is filled out completely and that it is signed by the official taking your fingerprints. For best quality, make sure your fingerprints are “digitally” printed on your fingerprint card.
-
SCAN (on a real scanner, not on cell phone scanner) your valid government issued photo I.D. (Driver’s License or Passport) AND your completed fingerprint card on a computer. Save in PDF or JPEG.
-
ATTACH your scanned fingerprint card and valid government issued ID or Passport >>> TO THE “OUT OF STATE FLORIDA LICENSING APPLICANT form.
-
COMPLETE (entirely), SIGN, and SUBMIT online “OUT OF STATE FLORIDA LICENSING APPLICANT” form. This must be filled out completely. The information for the ORI # can be obtained from your employer or the Agency requiring you to get the background screening performed. This information can usually be found on their website or you may need to call them for their ORI number. This is required by the FDLE for them to know where to send the results of the background screening. YOU WILL RECEIVE THE ONLINE FORM VIA TEXT OR EMAIL UPON REQUEST ONLY.
Congrats, you are done. You just saved yourself valuable time, money, and most importantly increased the
level of security in emailing your sensitive information directly to us, instead of relying on the postal system.
This method also allows you keep the original fingerprint card if and when you want to apply for licensure in other states.
IF YOUR FINGERPRINTS ARE NOT CLEAR, OR FOR SOME REASON THE QUALITY IS POOR, WE WILL REQUEST YOU TO MAIL THE FINGERPRINT CARDS TO US AT OUR OFFICE AT:
R.I. Investigations, Inc.
