What Is DOE Fingerprinting?
The Florida Department of Education (DOE) requires a Level 2 FDLE background check for all instructional personnel, school administrators, education support staff, tutors, and volunteers in K-12 schools and educational institutions. This includes initial employment, certification renewals, and charter school staffing.

If Your Fingerprints Are Rejected
Rejections happen — here's what to know
FDLE occasionally rejects prints due to poor ridge quality, worn skin, or dry fingertips — not because of anything on your record. Rejection is uncommon with digital Live Scan equipment, but it does happen.
- If FDLE rejects your prints, you will receive a re-print notice.
- Sky Bright LiveScan re-prints at no additional charge.
- We will schedule a new appointment quickly — same-day is often available.
- Moisturizing your fingertips for a few days before your appointment reduces rejection risk.
Common DOE Fingerprinting Mistakes to Avoid
Not getting your district-issued ORI before arriving — DOE ORI numbers are assigned by your school district's HR department, not published openly. Walking in without it means we cannot process your submission. Call your district HR first.
Waiting until your start date — DOE background check results are commonly reported within approximately 3–7 business days, based on typical applicant feedback. Processing times vary by case and are not guaranteed. Starting the fingerprinting process early gives your agency time to process before your first day.
Assuming clearance transfers automatically to another school district — DOE clearances processed through the state system may be portable, but individual districts can require fresh submissions. Verify with your new district's HR before relying on an old clearance.
