Yes. EasyWay Fingerprinting & Notary assists out-of-state applicants who need fingerprints for Florida licensing, employment, background screening, and other agency requirements.

Depending on your specific requirements, we offer electronic fingerprint capture with FDLE submission options, digitally captured and printed FD-258 cards, and traditional ink-and-roll FD-258 fingerprinting.

Not necessarily. Many out-of-state applicants can complete their fingerprinting outside of Florida.

EasyWay provides Florida fingerprinting options from our Mount Vernon, New York location. The appropriate method depends on the Florida agency, profession, license, or organization requesting your fingerprints.

Bring the instructions provided by the requesting agency so we can determine which of our available fingerprinting methods is appropriate.

ORI stands for Originating Agency Identification.

The ORI identifies the Florida agency, licensing board, profession, or organization associated with your background-screening request and helps ensure that your results are routed appropriately.

Your ORI is an important part of the Florida fingerprinting process.

Your ORI may appear on your Florida application, licensing instructions, employer documentation, agency email, or other fingerprinting instructions.

If you are unsure which ORI applies to you, contact the Florida agency, licensing board, employer, or organization requesting your background check before your fingerprinting appointment.

Do not guess your ORI.

Bring the identification required for your particular Florida screening, along with your ORI number and any forms, emails, application instructions, reference information, or fingerprinting requirements provided by the requesting agency.

Some Florida programs may require more than one form of identification or additional applicant information.

If your agency supplied a fingerprint card, bring the original card with you.

Yes. EasyWay offers electronic fingerprint capture with FDLE submission options for eligible Florida background-screening requests.

We also offer digitally captured and printed FD-258 fingerprint cards and traditional ink-and-roll FD-258 cards when a physical fingerprint card is required.

Because requirements vary by Florida agency and screening type, please provide your ORI and requesting-agency instructions before submission.

With electronic fingerprinting, your fingerprints are captured digitally and, when eligible for the service selected, can be transmitted electronically for processing through the applicable submission pathway.

With an FD-258 fingerprint card, your fingerprints are placed on a physical card. EasyWay can provide digitally captured and printed FD-258 cards as well as traditional ink-and-roll fingerprint cards.

The method you need depends on the instructions from the agency requesting your fingerprints.

Some out-of-state Florida applications and processing pathways permit or require physical fingerprint cards.

However, requirements vary. Do not assume an FD-258 card is appropriate simply because you are outside Florida.

Review the instructions from your requesting agency or licensing board before booking. EasyWay can provide both digital and traditional ink FD-258 fingerprint-card services when appropriate.

TCN stands for Transaction Control Number.

A TCN is associated with an electronic fingerprint transaction and may be used by the appropriate agency or applicant to identify or track the fingerprint submission.

If a TCN is generated for your transaction, keep it with your records.

Processing times vary depending on the Florida agency, screening type, submission method, fingerprint quality, and other factors outside of EasyWay's control.

For certain Florida Department of Health electronic screenings, Florida reports that results are commonly received within approximately 24–72 hours, but this should be treated as an estimate rather than a guaranteed turnaround time.

EasyWay cannot guarantee government or agency processing times.

Providing an incorrect ORI can cause problems with the routing of your fingerprint/background-screening results and may prevent the appropriate Florida agency or licensing board from receiving them as intended.

Applicants are responsible for obtaining the correct ORI from the requesting organization.

If you're unsure which ORI to use, confirm it with the Florida agency, employer, or licensing board before your appointment.

Yes. EasyWay assists nurses, healthcare professionals, and other applicants who have been instructed to complete fingerprinting for a Florida license or background-screening requirement.

Because requirements can vary between professions and licensing boards, bring your ORI and Florida licensing/background-screening instructions to your appointment.

Yes. If the requesting agency provided you with its own fingerprint card, bring the original card and the agency's instructions to your appointment.

We can review the card before fingerprinting and determine whether we can complete the requested fingerprint capture.

Fingerprint acceptance is ultimately determined by the receiving agency. Factors such as worn fingerprint ridges, skin condition, injuries, fingerprint quality, and agency requirements can affect acceptance.

If you receive an official fingerprint rejection, contact EasyWay and provide the rejection information so we can review the circumstances and determine the appropriate next step under our applicable reprint policy.

Mobile fingerprinting may be available depending on your location, fingerprinting method, equipment requirements, and appointment needs.

Contact EasyWay or select the appropriate mobile service when booking to confirm availability and applicable mobile-service fees.

Appointments are strongly recommended.

Scheduling in advance gives us an opportunity to understand the type of Florida fingerprinting you need and helps ensure that you arrive with the appropriate identification, ORI, agency instructions, and other required information.
