What is an ORI Number?

An ORI (Originating Agency Identifier) is a unique 9-character alphanumeric code assigned by the FBI to a specific Florida agency that is authorized to request FDLE criminal history background checks. When you are fingerprinted, the ORI code routes your results to the correct agency.

Using the wrong ORI can result in your fingerprints being sent to the wrong agency, failure to appear in your employer's or licensing board's system, and the need for re-fingerprinting.

How to Use This Directory

This directory provides commonly referenced ORI codes as a reference starting point. It is NOT a substitute for confirming your ORI with your employer, HR department, licensing board, or requesting agency before your appointment.

ORI assignments can change, and many agencies have multiple ORIs for different programs, employer types, or license categories. The codes listed here reflect commonly reported usage and should be treated as reference information only.

Commonly Referenced ORI Codes by Agency

The following ORI codes are commonly reported for major Florida agencies. Verify with your employer or agency before your appointment:

  • AHCA (Clearinghouse — home health, ALFs): EAHCA013Z — verify with employer
  • FDOH (CNA applicants): EDOH0380Z — verify with employer or FDOH
  • FDOH (Nursing — RN/LPN): EDOH4420Z — verify with employer or FDOH
  • DOE (K-12 instructional personnel): EDOEPUBS1 — verify with school district HR
  • DBPR (Real estate — FREC): FL920010Z — verify with DBPR
  • DCF (General childcare and family services): EDCFGN10Z — verify with employer or DCF
  • APD (General disability services): EAPDGN10Z — verify with employer or APD

IMPORTANT: These ORI codes are provided for reference only. Always verify the correct ORI with your employer, licensing board, or requesting agency before your appointment. Do not use these codes without independent verification. Using an incorrect ORI can delay your background check.

What to Do If Your ORI Is Not Listed

Many Florida employers, healthcare systems, school districts, and agencies have their own specific ORI numbers that differ from the general agency ORI. If your specific ORI is not listed here, contact your employer's HR department, your licensing board, or the agency directly.
