DTIS is a trusted provider of electronic live scan fingerprinting services for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE), supporting both Level 1 and Level 2 background screenings across the state.
Florida requires live scan fingerprinting for a wide range of roles and situations. Here are the most common reasons people are asked to get fingerprinted:
State regulations and corporate compliance policies across Florida mandate biometric screening for a wide spectrum of jobs. Organizations use these fingerprint submissions to run comprehensive background evaluations through state and federal repositories, confirming a candidate’s suitability and adhering to legal mandates prior to officially onboarding them.
Non-profit organizations, community groups, and local charities throughout the state routinely ask unpaid staff and helpers to submit their biometrics. This preventative measure ensures that individuals offering their time have been thoroughly vetted against criminal databases, safeguarding community members and vulnerable groups from potential risks.
State oversight boards in Florida, spanning health, education, and various commercial sectors, require biometric records before granting or renewing credentials. Providing fingerprints allows regulatory authorities to vet practitioners thoroughly, ensuring that individuals in positions of public trust meet rigorous legal and ethical benchmarks.
Judicial authorities may direct individuals to provide fingerprint impressions during specific legal proceedings, such as domestic relations lawsuits, formal name updates, or evidentiary hearings. These court-ordered submissions supply tribunals with an authentic, unalterable biometric profile to verify identity or cross-reference legal histories accurately.
Operators of seasonal youth programs in Florida must comply with Department of Children and Families guidelines, which mandate stringent background screening for personnel and regular camp aides. Fingerprinting serves as a core component of this clearance procedure, confirming that all adults supervising minors meet strict state youth safety criteria.
