Out of State Fingerprinting Services
For individuals outside of Florida who need to complete fingerprinting for licensing or employment, Tru Printz offers a convenient solution.

Important Note
Please note that the hard card scanning method has certain limitations. For example, service providers using this method may not be able to submit photographs, which means your fingerprints may not be entered into Florida’s Care Provider Background Screening Clearinghouse. The Clearinghouse shares background check results with various state agencies. If you’re applying for a position with an agency within the Clearinghouse, you may need to complete an additional background check to meet their requirements.
