TESTFlorida Announces Enhancement to its Fingerprinting Process for Non-residents and Reduction in Fee
Jan 10, 2013
The following news release about the fingerprinting process for license applicants was issued by the Securities & Insurance Licensing Association (SILA) on January 9, 2013:
Beginning on January 11, 2013, Florida will enhance its fingerprinting process for license applicants that will result in a more streamlined and efficient method resulting in quicker licensing while reducing fees.
All nonresident license applicants must be fingerprinted through Florida’s vendor, MorphoTrust USA, formerly Lâ€1 Enrollment. Applicants can register, request fingerprint cards to be mailed to them, and pay for fingerprinting by visiting www.L1enrollment.com/FLInsurance or by calling 1â€800â€528â€1358.
The fingerprinting fee is $50.30. This amount is nearly a 10% reduction from the previous fee. Resident license applicants will continue to use LiveScan locations in Florida and pay the reduced fee as well.
After payment is made to MorphoTrust USA, they will send nonresident applicants a fingerprinting packet. In the packet, there will be instructions and two (2) fingerprint cards with a preâ€printed label generated by the information provided when the applicant registered with MorphoTrust USA.
The results of an applicant’s fingerprintâ€based criminal history check will be submitted electronically to the Florida Department of Financial Services. Once the license application is complete, the Florida Department of Financial Services will notify the applicant the status of their application by email and their MyProfile account.
Special Note: The Department of Financial Services no longer provides fingerprint cards. Applicants and entities must request cards from MorphoTrust USA. Please do not mail fingerprint cards to the Florida Department of Financial Services. Completed fingerprint cards should be mailed to:
