Clearinghouse fingerprinting is essential for employees and applicants in industries where safety and regulatory compliance are critical, including:
Mental Health and Substance Abuse Centers: For professionals working in state-licensed mental health or substance abuse treatment facilities under DCF or AHCA regulation
IDENTICO’s Clearinghouse Fingerprinting Services meet the stringent requirements of Florida’s Clearinghouse Background Screening Program. Under AHCA regulations, fingerprints must be electronically submitted to the FDLE and FBI for Level 2 Background Checks. These checks are essential for professions involving access to vulnerable populations, ensuring only qualified individuals are employed.
Our services align with Florida Statutes Chapter 435, which mandates the use of Clearinghouse for background screening, and we are fully equipped to transmit fingerprints securely and accurately to the required agencies.
The cost of our Clearinghouse Fingerprinting Services is $85 per applicant. This fee includes:
There are no hidden fees, ensuring complete transparency in pricing. For organizations scheduling mobile fingerprinting services, group discounts may apply. Contact us at 954-239-8590 for additional details.

Preparing properly for your Clearinghouse fingerprinting appointment is essential to ensure a smooth process. One of the most common mistakes is using an incorrect ORI (Originating Agency Identifier) Number, which can delay results or send them to the wrong agency. Always verify your ORI number with your employer or the requesting agency before arriving. Additionally, forgetting to bring a valid government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license or passport, can result in rescheduling. Ensure your ID is unexpired and matches the name on your application.
For certain ORI submissions, a photo is required to accompany the fingerprints as part of the Clearinghouse requirements. IDENTICO provides photo submissions where necessary, but applicants should confirm this requirement with their agency in advance. Another common oversight is arriving unprepared for payment. IDENTICO accepts major credit or debit cards and exact cash, but if your employer is covering the fee, make sure they have set up an account or provided proper authorization.
Lastly, for organizations scheduling mobile or group fingerprinting, failing to provide accurate headcounts or ensuring participants are prepared with the necessary documents can lead to delays. Avoid these errors to ensure a quick, compliant, and stress-free fingerprinting experience with IDENTICO. For assistance or to schedule your appointment, call 954-239-8590 today!
