Premier Notary and Fingerprinting is proud to offer SWFT fingerprinting in Orlando, Florida — a fast, secure, and government-approved solution for submitting digital fingerprints to the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD).

We’re conveniently located in Downtown Orlando, serving Orange County, Central Florida, and surrounding areas. Whether you're a defense contractor, federal applicant, or a Facility Security Officer (FSO) seeking a reliable provider, we ensure a smooth, professional fingerprinting experience.

What is SWFT Fingerprinting?

SWFT stands for Secure Web Fingerprint Transmission — a specialized secure web portal designed to streamline the transmission of electronic fingerprint files (known as .EFT files) for federal background investigations and security clearance processing. This is commonly mandated for security clearances by entities such as the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), Department of Defense (DOD), National Industry Security Program (NISP), and other pivotal federal government agencies.

By opting for an EFT file via SWFT, you can bypass the traditional method of mailing paper fingerprint cards. Unlike traditional fingerprint cards, SWFT fingerprinting in Orlando enables faster processing and electronic submission, minimizing delays and ensuring compliance with federal standards.

We’re conveniently located in Downtown Orlando, serving Orange, Seminole, and Osceola counties.

Most SWFT fingerprinting appointments take about 15–20 minutes to complete, provided the fingerprints are not difficult to capture.
After you submit your fingerprints through SWFT, the FBI fingerprint-based background check results are generally valid for 120 days. However, the FBI deletes the report from its servers within 30 days of sending the results to the authorized agency. Re-fingerprinting may be needed if the requesting agency hasn't used the results within that timeframe.
It is a unique four-character alphanumeric code assigned by the DCSA (Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency) to identify the agency or organization that requests background investigations.
