Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) Services

Level 2 background checks for employment, licensing, volunteering, and working with children, families, and the elderly. To get fingerprinted, you will need an ORI number (Originating Agency Identifier) which identifies the agency requesting the criminal history check and for what purpose. You may also need an OCA number (Controlling Agency Identifier) which is provided by DCF and identifies the provider requesting the background check. After capturing your fingerprints, a Transaction Control Number (TCN) is created. This unique identifier allows you or your agency to track the status of your fingerprint submission within the Florida system. To check the status using your TCN, visit FDLE's TCN Lookup. Alternatively, you can contact FDLE directly at 850-410-8109. When reaching out to FDLE, be prepared to provide the date of your fingerprinting and your TCN number. Examples of Florida agencies are; FL Board of Nursing, VECHS, FL Department of Business and Professional Regulation, Department of Financial Regulation, Department of Health, Department of Revenue, Department of Elder Affairs, Board of Medicine, and FL Agency for Healthcare Administration.
