- I need to have a photo collected and submitted with my fingerprints. Are Fieldprint sites able to collect my photo?
Yes; all Fieldprint sites in FL are fully equipped and trained to collect a digital photo with the fingerprint collection.
The FL Agency for Healthcare Administration (AHCA) and the Department of Health now require a digital photograph to be included
with a fingerprint submission. If you register for either of these programs, you will be able to schedule your appointment
at a Fieldprint site with both fingerprint and photo-capture capabilities.
- What is the difference between Livescan fingerprints and print cards?
Livescan fingerprints are printed captured electronically, via a digital image that can be transmitted
electronically; this provides for a faster and more accurate fingerprint collection process. Fieldprint Inc. has
the largest network of Livescan collection sites in the country.
