Once we receive the completed FD-258 cards from you, we will digitize the fingerprints and submit them to FDLE for processing. We will then notify you by email, providing you with the TCN (Transaction Control Number) assigned to your transaction. You can use this TCN to check the status of your screening at https://cchinet.fdle.state.fl.us/search/app/tcnlookup?2. 

Typically, it takes 3 to 5 business days for FDLE, FBI, and the Florida Regulatory agency to determine the results of your Level 2 Screening, depending on the quality of the fingerprints captured on the FD-258 cards. If the TCN lookup shows that the screening is completed but the regulatory state agency has not updated your records, we recommend contacting the state agency directly with your TCN to inquire about manually tracking your report.

If the tracking number for the return label indicates that the shipment back to us was successful, but you haven’t received a TCN number from us via email, please feel free to call us at 954-239-8590 ext. 2 during regular business hours for further assistance.

We prioritize recordkeeping and confidentiality. After 30 days from the date we submit your fingerprint scans to FDLE, we securely destroy the physical FD-258 cards that you sent to us. This ensures that your personal information and fingerprints are handled with the utmost care and protection. You can have peace of mind knowing that your information is treated with strict confidentiality throughout the entire process.
