If you are in Florida, you will need to get an ORI number from your employer or requesting agency. Once you have the ORI number required for your application type, you can then enroll online and walk into your selected location. All Live Scan transactions are transmitted to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) or ACHA, you will be given a TCN number that you can provide to your requesting agency so that they are able to view your background check results.
ORI Numbers in Florida
* ORI Number represents the “Originating Agency Identification”. This is typically a 9 Digit identifier associated with the specific agency receiving your results. You need to know your ORI number before you can schedule your Level II background check for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. It is your responsibility to provide this number to the fingerprinting professional for the results to reach the correct agency requesting your results.
For state agencies and regulated industries, a Level 1 background check in Florida searches records based on the job candidate’s name only (versus fingerprints, which are used in a Level 2 check). A Level 1 check includes, but is not limited to:
-
Verification of employment history
-
A statewide criminal records check
