What ORI number do Florida teachers use for fingerprinting?

Florida K-12 teachers and instructional personnel typically use ORI EDOEPUBS1. School administrators and support staff may use EDOEPUBS2. School volunteers use VDOEPUBS3. Always confirm the correct ORI with your school district's HR department before your appointment.

How much does teacher fingerprinting cost in Florida?

DOE teacher fingerprinting at Sky Bright LiveScan costs $90. This includes digital transmission to FDLE. No hidden fees. We accept cash, credit/debit card, or money order.

Can I teach in Florida while my fingerprint background check is pending?

This varies by school district. Some districts allow a brief provisional employment period while clearance is pending. Check with your specific district's HR department for their policy on provisional employment.

Do I need new fingerprinting if I move from one Florida school district to another?

Not necessarily. If your DOE clearance is already on file in the state system, a new school district may be able to access it. However, some districts require fresh submissions. Check with the new district's HR department to confirm.
