Live Scan fingerprinting is the Florida standard for electronic background check submissions — capturing fingerprints digitally and transmitting them directly to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) and other state agencies without the delays and rejection risks of traditional ink fingerprinting. Palm Beach County Apostille and Notary Services operates a certified FDLE-registered Live Scan fingerprinting location in West Palm Beach, serving professionals and individuals throughout Palm Beach County who need electronic fingerprint submissions for Florida licensing, employment, and background check purposes.
Our West Palm Beach Live Scan fingerprinting center is registered with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and equipped to process electronic fingerprint submissions for FDLE, AHCA, Florida DOE, DCF, and other Florida agencies. We serve healthcare workers, educators, real estate professionals, contractors, security personnel, and anyone requiring Florida Live Scan fingerprinting throughout Palm Beach County.
Live Scan captures your fingerprints using a digital scanner — no ink, no mess, no cards to mail. Your prints are transmitted electronically to the requesting Florida agency (FDLE, AHCA, DOE, etc.) along with your demographic information. The agency processes the prints against state and federal criminal databases and returns results directly to the requesting employer, licensing board, or agency. Our West Palm Beach technicians ensure every submission meets the ORI-specific requirements for your particular agency.
Bring your ORI number (provided by your employer or licensing agency) and valid photo ID to our West Palm Beach location

Florida requires Live Scan fingerprinting for a wide range of licensed professions and employment situations — healthcare workers regulated by AHCA, educators requiring Level 2 background checks, real estate licensees, contractors, security guards, childcare workers, and many others. Our West Palm Beach Live Scan center processes all of these submissions correctly, using the ORI number specific to each agency to ensure your prints are routed to the right destination.
We serve professionals and individuals throughout West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Jupiter, Lake Worth, Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, and all of Palm Beach County. Mobile Live Scan fingerprinting is also available for employers, healthcare facilities, and schools needing group processing throughout Palm Beach County.
An ORI (Originating Agency Identifier) number identifies the specific agency receiving your fingerprint submission. It is provided by your employer, licensing board, or the agency requiring the background check. Our West Palm Beach team can help identify the correct ORI for common Florida agency submissions if you are unsure.
Most Florida Live Scan background check results are returned to the requesting agency within 3–5 business days after electronic submission. Some results are returned faster. Our West Palm Beach location transmits submissions the same day prints are captured.
Electronic Live Scan submissions have significantly lower rejection rates than ink fingerprinting. However, poor print quality — often due to skin conditions, age-related ridge deterioration, or prior injury — can still cause issues. Our West Palm Beach technicians are experienced in working with difficult prints to maximize capture quality.
Bring your ORI number (from your employer or licensing agency), a completed submission form if required, and a current valid government-issued photo ID. Our West Palm Beach team advises on any additional requirements for your specific agency submission.
