                 Frequent questions

1. What do I need to have with me?

  • You must have a Valid, Government-Issued Photo ID (Driver's License, Valid DMV ID, Passport, Military ID or Resident Alien Card).

  • You must provide an ORI Number.

  • If you are fingerprinting for Department of Children and Families (DCF), please bring us your (OCA#).

2. What is an ORI mumber • Originating Agency Identifier Number (ORI)?

Your Employer or Regulatory agency will have this information. Fingerprint Mendez let you know respectfully that it is the applicant’s responsibility to verify the correct ORI number with employer or agency to ensure results are sent to the correct location. So Fingerprint Mendez cannot be responsible for selecting the correct one for you. It is important to use the correct ORI Number when submitting fingerprints. If you do not provide an ORI number or if you provide an incorrect ORI number to Fingerprint Mendez member, you will not receive your fingerprint results. It is extremely important to use the correct ORI when having your fingerprints scanned. You must bring this with you.

3. What Is an OCA number?

Some few agencies require the OCA number. It is the Originating Agency Case Number, which tells the governing agency who (company) is requesting the screening. For example, DCF requires it to identify the provider requesting the background check. Without both the ORI and OCA numbers, FDLE cannot process the request and DCF will not know where to send the results.

4. What is an electronic fingerprinting?

It is the fingerprinting process through a live scan machine rather than ink rolled on card. The fingerprints are submitted to the specific state agency in order to process your level 2 background check.

5. How much time does it take to capture my fingerprints?

The fingerprinting process should take between 5-10 minutes, depending on the image quality of your prints and the information you supply us with.

6. Can I get a copy of my background check?

No. The information must only be sent electronically to your potential employer or licensing department.
