  • FBI Appendix F hardware
  • FDLE and FBI channels

Who this is for

LiveScan360 stands up capture desks for new operators, shops leaving a legacy vendor, and providers adding another location.

  • Opening a new desk

    First location or a new service line. You need certified capture hardware, software, and a legal channel before you take applicants.

  • Switching vendors

    You already roll prints and want to leave a legacy stack without losing FDLE or FBI submission capability.

  • Adding a location

    An existing shop expanding. Same software and channels, another FBI-certified device, another desk that can enroll.

What you get

Hardware, software, and submission channels together — so you can capture prints and send them to FDLE or the FBI, not just buy a scanner.

  • FBI-certified hardware

    Appendix F livescan devices provisioned for production capture — not a consumer scanner and not ink cards as the primary workflow.

  • Browser-based software

    Capture, quality control, and tracking in the LiveScan360 platform so operators are not locked to a desktop install.

  • FDLE and FBI channels

    Civil livescan submissions through Florida FDLE and federal FBI routes, including device IDs, TCN prefixes, and test submissions where required.

How to get a desk live

Four steps from the first call to the first applicant. This is the LiveScan360 path — FDLE still owns device IDs, test submissions, and civil rules.

  1. Step 1

    Book a 20–30 minute intro call

    Tell LiveScan360 about the shop, volume, and whether you are new, switching, or adding a location. Pick an Eastern time with at least 1 hour notice.

  2. Step 2

    Lock hardware, software, and a quote

    You get a formal quote you can share with finance or ownership: certified device, provisioning, shipping, and tax based on address.

  3. Step 3

    Complete channel setup

    FDLE Applicant Services registration, device configuration, and a successful Civil Workflow Control System test before production. FBI routes follow the same certified-device rules.

  4. Step 4

    Take the first customer

    Most desks start taking applicants about 21 days from payment once hardware is connected, software is live, and channels are open.

Common questions

How do I become a live scan provider with LiveScan360?
Book a 20–30 minute intro call on this page. LiveScan360 covers FBI-certified hardware, browser-based capture software, and FDLE/FBI channel setup. After you accept a quote and pay, most desks take customers about 21 days later.
How long does it take to open a live scan desk?
Most LiveScan360 desks start taking customers about 21 days from payment. The intro call is 20–30 minutes. Timeline depends on hardware shipping, FDLE device registration, and a successful test submission.
What hardware do I need to start a live scan business?
You need an FBI Appendix F certified livescan device from a vendor FDLE will accept for electronic submissions. LiveScan360 provisions and configures the unit. A consumer fingerprint reader is not sufficient for FDLE or FBI civil submissions.
Can LiveScan360 submit fingerprints to FDLE and the FBI?
Yes. LiveScan360 connects certified hardware to Florida FDLE civil submissions and FBI channels. FDLE still requires Applicant Services registration and a successful Civil Workflow Control System test before production.
Do I need an account before I get started?
No. Use the form on this page to request a quote and book the intro call. A capture-platform login is issued when the desk is being stood up — not before the first conversation.
How much does it cost to become a live scan provider?
LiveScan360 emails an itemized quote after the intro call. Line items typically include the certified device, provisioning and setup, shipping, and sales tax based on address. Published list prices are not a substitute for that quote.
Is this the official FDLE getting-started page?
No. This is LiveScan360’s provider onboarding page. FDLE remains the source of truth for vendor listings, device IDs, and civil submission rules. LiveScan360 appears on FDLE’s livescan device vendor listing and can walk you through the official steps.
