An ORI (Originating Agency Identification) Number is a unique code used during Florida electronic fingerprinting and background screening. The ORI number tells the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) where to send your fingerprint results and identifies the specific purpose of your background check. Each employer, licensing board, government agency, school, or organization has its own ORI number to ensure your results are routed correctly.
Providing the correct ORI number is essential for processing your fingerprint submission.
An incorrect ORI number may:
● Send your results to the wrong agency
● Delay your employment or licensing application
● Require you to be fingerprinted again
● Result in additional fingerprinting fees
Before your appointment, verify your ORI number with the organization requesting your
background screening.
Your ORI number is provided by the employer, agency, or licensing board requesting your
fingerprints. It may appear on:
● Employment or onboarding instructions
● Fingerprinting authorization forms
● Emails from your employer or agency
● Professional license applications
● Background screening request forms
● AHCA Clearinghouse screening requests
Florida Department of Health applicants may also find their ORI number on their online
application, printed application instructions, or within the licensing requirements for their
profession.
Once you have your ORI number and required documentation, Rapid Fingerprint is ready to
provide fast, accurate, and secure fingerprinting services.
Applicants seeking employment with AHCA-regulated facilities should first confirm that their
employer or licensed provider has initiated the screening through the Care Provider
Background Screening Clearinghouse.
Your employer or requesting organization will provide:
● The correct ORI number
● Any required screening request number
● Additional instructions needed before your appointment
To help your appointment go smoothly, please bring:
● A valid government-issued photo ID
● Your complete ORI number
● Any screening request, authorization, or reference number provided
● Employer or licensing agency instructions (if applicable)
After your fingerprints are submitted electronically, you may receive a Transaction Control
Number (TCN). Keep this number for your records, as it may be needed to track or reference
your fingerprint transaction.
Rapid Fingerprint does not create, assign, or determine ORI numbers.
The correct ORI number must be provided by the employer, licensing board, government
agency, school, healthcare facility, or organization requesting your background screening.
While we will accurately enter the information you provide, we cannot determine which ORI
number applies to your specific profession, license, or employment requirement. Please verify
your ORI number before your appointment to help prevent delays or the need for resubmission..
