Card Conversion Service

 Applying for Licensing or Employment in Florida from out-of-state & overseas? We've Got You Covered!

If you're living outside the U.S. but need fingerprinting for licensing or employment in Florida, there's no need to travel! ACT Biometrics makes the process simple and hassle-free by converting your fingerprint card into Live Scan and submitting it directly to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE). FDLE then forwards the results to the requesting agency, such as the Department of Health (DOH), AHCA, DCF, APD, and others.

Follow these easy steps to complete your fingerprint submission:

Step 1: Pay for the Service

• Book an appointment by clicking on “Get Fingerprinted” below to pay for the fingerprinting service.
• Note: This booking is only for payment—applicants do not visit the office for fingerprinting.

Step 2: Get Fingerprinted

• Visit your nearest law enforcement office or fingerprint provider to have your fingerprints taken.
• Ensure the fingerprints are recorded on an FD-258 fingerprint card, which can be downloaded from the FBI website or requested from ACT Biometrics.

Step 3: Submit Your Fingerprint Cards

• Mail the completed fingerprint cards to:  ACT Biometrics  8469 W. Oakland Park Blvd, Sunrise, FL 33351
• If applying for a healthcare license or employment, you must also provide:
  • Social Security Number (SSN), Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), Alien Registration Number, RCMP Registration Number, or Canadian SIN
  • A passport-style photo (submitted via email)
  • A livescan request form that can be obtained by clicking on this link  https://chai.flclearinghouse.com/

Step 4: Receive Your TCN Number

• Once ACT Biometrics processes your fingerprints, you will receive a Transaction Control Number (TCN) upon submission of the livescan.
• This number confirms your fingerprints have been successfully submitted for processing.

Steps to register with AHCA Clearinghouse:

1. Visit the CHAI Clearinghouse website https://chai.flclearinghouse.com/
2. Enter your email address to begin.
3. You’ll receive a confirmation code via email.
4. Use that code to log in and enter your Social Security Number or ITIN, date of birth, and last name.
5. Skip the appointment booking section—this step is not needed for card conversion.
6. Download the Livescan Request Form, which includes your Screening ID and ORI number.
