DBPR Fingerprinting for Florida Professional Licenses

Florida DBPR requires a full set of fingerprints with most professional-license applications. Complete your DBPR fingerprinting appointment in minutes at our Brickell office with an FDLE-approved Live Scan provider and the official ORI for your profession, including real estate, appraisal, construction, CAM, home inspection and more. Mortgage licensing follows a separate NMLS/OFR workflow, which we confirm before accepting the transaction. If you are outside Florida or the United States, ask us whether your licensing channel permits a hard-card submission before sending an FD-258 card.

The official ORI for your profession

Each DBPR profession has an assigned ORI. We verify the code published by the state before transmitting your fingerprints.

A short Live Scan appointment

Professional electronic capture in Brickell, with quality checks during the appointment and a transaction receipt after submission.

Submit at the right time

DBPR instructs applicants to submit fingerprints immediately after the license application. Results may take up to five days to reach the department.

Options outside Florida

If you are outside the area, we confirm whether your profession permits an FDLE-approved hard-card scanning workflow before you ship a card.

Is Your Florida License Waiting on Fingerprints?

Your application is waiting for fingerprints

DBPR cannot complete a license application that requires a criminal-history check until it receives the fingerprint results.

You do not know which ORI applies

Real estate, appraisal, CAM and construction use different ORI codes. The wrong code can prevent DBPR from receiving the transaction.

Mortgage licensing follows another system

Mortgage loan originator licensing is handled through the Florida OFR and NMLS, not through the standard DBPR fingerprint route.

You are outside Florida

DBPR identifies hard-card scanning capable providers as an option for out-of-state applicants, subject to the profession's current instructions.

How the DBPR Fingerprinting Requirement Works

The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) regulates many professions and businesses in Florida. DBPR states that most licensure applications require a full set of fingerprints. After the applicant submits the license application, an FDLE-approved Live Scan service provider transmits the fingerprints electronically using the ORI assigned to the profession. FDLE and the FBI process the criminal-history check, and DBPR retrieves the results through its secure system. An incorrect ORI can prevent DBPR from receiving the results, so the profession and code must be confirmed before transmission.

  • FDLE-approved provider: Brickell Biometrics, DBA Notary Public Center, operates as a registered Live Scan submitter for authorized fingerprint transactions.
  • Official ORI verification: we compare the profession against the current DBPR list before transmission.
  • Correct channel first: DBPR, FDLE, AHCA, FBI and NMLS/OFR are different workflows; we confirm which channel applies to the request.
  • Transaction receipt: you receive the TCN generated for the submission so you can follow up when the receiving agency permits status checks.
  • Applicant responsibility remains clear: DBPR states that the applicant is responsible for selecting a provider and ensuring that the prints are submitted.
  • Hard-card cases reviewed individually: out-of-state and international applicants should confirm that the profession and receiving channel accept hard-card scanning before shipping an FD-258 card.

Real Estate Appraisers

Appraisers have a separate board and ORI from real estate sales associates and brokers.

Community Association Managers (CAM)

CAM applicants use the DBPR ORI assigned to Community Association Managers and should follow the timing in their application instructions.

DBPR publishes separate ORIs for home inspectors, mold assessors and remediators, talent agents, employee leasing and other regulated activities.

Applying for a Florida License from Outside the State or Country?

You may not need to travel to Miami to satisfy the fingerprint requirement. DBPR directs out-of-state applicants to choose an FDLE-listed provider that is hard-card scanning capable. Depending on the profession and receiving channel, you may have fingerprints placed on a hard card, send the original card to the provider, and have it converted into an authorized electronic submission. International handling and card format can vary, so we confirm eligibility, the ORI, the required card and shipping instructions before you send anything. Review our English fingerprinting page for the available options.
