LiveScan
Mobile services to your office or home.
The LiveScan is a machine used to perform inkless electronic fingerprinting. We use this process to perform what’s known as a Level 2 background check. If you have been asked to provide a LiveScan for your employer, you are probably being considered for a position of trust or responsibility. The Level 2 is a more comprehensive background screen which includes a national fingerprint database search.
The name “Level 2” is used to differentiate the methods used and the extent of the data searched from a traditional Level 1 background search.
A Level 2 check applies to employees designated by law as holding positions of responsibility or trust. Per Florida Statute Section 435.04
Florida Department of Law Enforcement Level 2 background check includes the following:
- A state check of the Florida Computerized Criminal History Central Repository for Florida arrests.
- A state and national check of the National Criminal History Database at the FBI for federal arrests and arrests from other states
- A warrant files check using The Florida Crime Information Center for warrants and domestic violence injunctions.
Florida Department of Law Enforcement’s national record checks are based on the submission of fingerprints.
