What ORI do I use for RBT fingerprinting in Florida?

RBTs working at APD-certified providers typically use ORI EAPDGN10Z for general APD waiver and disability services. However, some APD provider agencies or facility types may use a different ORI. Always confirm the correct ORI with your employer or APD provider agency before your appointment — using the wrong ORI can delay your clearance. You can also call us at (786) 322-3109 for guidance.

How much does RBT fingerprinting cost in Florida?

APD fingerprinting for RBTs at Sky Bright LiveScan in Miami Lakes costs $90. This includes digital Live Scan capture and same-day electronic transmission to FDLE. No hidden fees. We accept cash, credit/debit card, and money order.

How long does APD background check clearance take for RBTs?

After fingerprinting at Sky Bright LiveScan, your prints are transmitted electronically to FDLE the same day. APD background check results are commonly reported within approximately 3–7 business days, based on typical applicant feedback. Processing times vary by case, workload, and complexity and are not guaranteed. Track your status at fdle.state.fl.us/TCN-Status using your TCN number.

Do I need to re-fingerprint when changing ABA employers in Florida?

Not necessarily. If you already have an active APD clearance on file from a previous APD-certified employer, your new employer may be able to verify it without requiring a new fingerprint submission. However, some APD providers require fresh submissions. Confirm your clearance status with your new employer's compliance team before assuming transfer is automatic.

Can I work as an RBT while my APD background check is pending?

Typically no. Most APD-certified providers require Level 2 clearance before an RBT can begin direct service with APD-funded clients. Some employers allow supervised provisional work pending clearance — check your specific employer's policy and consult with your APD provider agency.

Does APD fingerprinting cover BCBA supervisors too?

Yes. BCBAs working in supervisory or direct-service roles with APD-funded clients in Florida are also required to complete APD Level 2 fingerprinting. See our dedicated BCBA fingerprinting page for more detail.
