Florida’s background screening Clearinghouse has run more than 10 million fingerprint background screenings since 2013. Nurses, teachers, contractors, real estate agents, daycare staff, caregivers, anyone going through a background check for a license or a job.
And the list keeps growing. As of January 2025, Florida law requires every youth sports coach, referee, and volunteer to complete a Level 2 fingerprint screening too.
The state doesn’t do the fingerprinting itself. Private providers handle it and submit to FDLE. That’s the opening.
You’re not selling something people have to be talked into. They already need it. They’re looking for a provider who’s close, available, and easy to book. The only question is whether you’re set up to be that provider, or still trying to figure out where to start.
Take appointments on nights and weekends. No lease, no quitting your job.
Already run a notary, tax, staffing, or mobile business? Add Live Scan as another service for clients you already have walking through the door.
Go all in, mobile or storefront, and build it into your main income.
What to buy, what to skip, and where to get it. The wrong scanner is an expensive mistake, and a lot of people make it before they know better. This is how you avoid it.
A plain-English breakdown of the terms agencies and clients throw around. You’ll walk in sounding like you’ve done this before.
How these services get priced and how to set your own rates. Charge too little and you’re working for free. Charge blind and you lose the booking. This gives you the logic to price right.
How an appointment runs from start to finish. Intake, submission, follow-up. The unglamorous part that keeps the business from falling apart.
Short videos that walk you through each step. Watch them in order or jump straight to what you need.
For less than the cost of one wrong purchase, you get the full setup instead of figuring it out the hard way.
This wasn’t put together by a course company. It comes from a working Florida Live Scan provider, someone running the service day to day.
The setup, pricing, and workflow are what get used in a real operation, organized so you can follow them. That’s why it’s specific to Florida and not a generic overview written for some other state.
