What happens after I get my fingerprints done using a Live Scan Service Provider?
The Live Scan Service Provider will send your scanned fingerprint images to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) using the ORI number you provide to the provider. The FDLE/FBI will process the fingerprints and provide the results to the Department of Business and Professional Regulation, usually within three to five business days from the scan date. You do not have to do anything with your fingerprint results unless the department contacts you for additional information.
What happens if the fingerprint results indicate that I have a criminal history?
If you have a criminal history, your application will be reviewed by the department to ensure that your criminal history will not statutorily disqualify you from becoming licensed in that particular profession. Depending on the type of criminal offense(s) your application might require board review or require your personal appearance before the board. You will be notified in writing of any required appearance before the board.

How can I determine the status of my livescan transaction?
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) has developed a new feature that will allow an individual or organization to perform a search to determine the status of an applicant livescan transaction. The Civil Workflow Control System (CWCS) serves as the FDLE automated applicant criminal history request system. The status of a CWCS transaction can now be provided from a search within the newly developed "Civil Workflow Control System Transaction Status Search". The only identifier needed to perform the search is the Transaction Control Number (TCN) which is generated at the time the applicant information and fingerprints are captured.
The "Civil Workflow Control System Transaction Status Search" is now available to the public at:
https://cchinet.fdle.state.fl.us/search/app/tcnlookup?0
Please ensure that you use a complete and accurate TCN for your search. This feature will only provide the status of CWCS transactions for a 6 month period. For this reason, if an invalid TCN is entered or the TCN is older than 6 months then the search will result in a response indicating that the "TCN was not found in our database".
If you have any questions regarding the "Civil Workflow Control System Transaction Status Search", please contact a customer service staff member within the FDLE CRIMINAL HISTORY SERVICES SECTION at (850) 410-8161.
