The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) is the main submitting entity where all electronic fingerprint records are submitted. There is another channel referred to as the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) that accepts electronic fingerprint records and photos for all healthcare workers.

 

If you plan to offer a fingerprinting service to anyone in your community, you will want a system that can submit fingerprint records electronically to both FDLE and AHCA.
