Contractors Reporting Services, a service that assists general contractors with Florida contractors license requirements, strives to provide the best and most comprehensive services that contractors need to conduct business, including permits, licenses, and employment documentation. Technology is essential to the construction industry, and one technological application is fingerprinting. The demand for fingerprinting is expanding, so Contractors Reporting Services offers clients multiple strategies to obtain the fingerprinting services needed to expedite the business processes necessary to move projects forward.
Fingerprinting Required for General Contracting License
The State of Florida requires the completion of a live scan Level 2 background check before an individual can apply for licensing and obtain a license from the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR). Fingerprinting is required for this background check.
Live Scan Technology
Live Scan is an inkless, electronic technology for capturing fingerprints in a digitized format and then transmitting the fingerprints to a state database such as the FDLE (Florida Department of Law Enforcement) or the FBI. Traditionally, fingerprinting involved applying ink to each finger then rolling the inked fingers across a fingerprint card to obtain the prints. In contrast, the electronic method only needs for fingerprints to be rolled across a glass plate and scanned. Electronic fingerprinting eliminates the need for ink or a card and is faster and cleaner than the traditional method. This modern method reduces the likelihood of illegible fingerprints and reduces the overall application processing time to about ten minutes or less.
Timeframe
Anyone seeking to take the general contractor exam or seeking to obtain any license that requires fingerprinting should secure the services at least five business days prior to when the prints are needed to allow for processing.
Two Forms of Identification Needed
All applicants are required to bring two forms of identification to the electronic fingerprinting site on the day of the scheduled fingerprinting. One of the types of identification must have the applicant’s picture and signature; a driver’s license, state identification card, or passport would fulfill this requirement. Applicants may not be fingerprinted without proper identification. The electronic fingerprinting service provider will further clarify what is needed when scheduling an appointment.

Fingerprinting is not just for crime scenes and background checks. The technology is used in a variety of sectors, including:
- Academia and Admissions
- Financial and Related Services
- Health Care
- Information Technology (IT)
