FAQS
What is an ORI number?
This number is provided by FDLE and identifies the agency requesting the criminal history check and for what purpose.
What is an OCA number?
The OCA (Controlling Agency Identifier). This number is provided by DCF and identifies the provider requesting the background check.
The OCA number is a nine character number beginning with your 2 digit Circuit Number, your OCA, and ending with the letter “z”.
What is Live Scan Fingerprinting?
In the traditional method of fingerprinting, ink is applied to each of your fingers which are then “rolled” across a fingerprint card to obtain your prints. With electronic fingerprinting, there is no ink or card. Your fingerprints are “rolled” across a glass plate and scanned. It is faster and cleaner than the traditional method. Electronic fingerprinting reduces the likelihood of illegible fingerprints and will reduce the overall application processing time.
How long will it take to have my fingerprints scanned?
It should only take between 5-10 minutes to have your fingerprints scanned.
Can I use my recent fingerprints to apply for another professional license?
Per FBI regulation, your prints cannot be shared between professions or with other agencies. You are required to have separate prints for each license you are applying for, using the correct ORI.
Do I get to see the results?
Unfortunately, no. You do not get to see the results of your background check. Only the agency requesting your fingerprints/background check has access to your results.
