FDLE Fingerprint Card Scanning for International and Out-of-State Applicants

Are you outside Florida and need to submit fingerprints to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE)? Jacksonville Fingerprinting Center provides fingerprint card scanning and electronic submission to FDLE for eligible applicants who have their fingerprints taken outside Florida. If you have an FD-258 or other approved fingerprint card, you can send it to us for professional digitization and electronic transmission through our FDLE-approved Live Scan system. This service is convenient for individuals living outside Florida, including international applicants, who need to complete a Florida professional license, employment, background check, or other FDLE-required fingerprint submission without traveling to Jacksonville.

Who is this service for?

  • Applicants living outside Florida
  • International applicants
  • Former Florida residents now living abroad
  • Applicants who cannot visit a Florida LiveScan provider
  • People who have been instructed by a Florida agency to submit fingerprints on an FD-258 or other approved card

How the process works

Step 1 — Get your fingerprint card
The applicant obtains the fingerprint card and instructions from the Florida agency requesting the background check.

Step 2 — Have your fingerprints taken
Have your fingerprints professionally taken by an authorized fingerprinting provider in your country/location.

Step 3 — Send the completed card to us
The applicant mails the original completed fingerprint card to Jacksonville Fingerprinting Center.

Step 4 — We scan the card
We convert the fingerprint card into an electronic fingerprint submission using an approved system.

Step 5 — Electronic submission to FDLE
When the requesting agency has established the appropriate electronic submission arrangement, we transmit the fingerprint transaction to FDLE.

Step 6 — FDLE processes the request
FDLE processes the fingerprint-based criminal-history request and sends the results to the requesting agency/entity, rather than to the LiveScan provider.
