VIII. Fingerprinting

Fingerprinting is completed with all Level 2 and DCF Summer Camp Background Checks.

  • The Level 2 Background Check package is the combination of both the Standard (Accurate) Background Check and the fingerprint report issued by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The fingerprint report provides the following:
    • FDLE statewide search
    • FBI nationwide fingerprint-based check
    • Notification of warrants or domestic violence injunctions
  • There are three types of Level 2 Background Checks:
    • Candidates for employment
    • Volunteers (non-summer camp) - non-paid volunteers
    • Summer Camp Candidates & Volunteers being considered for a role in a University-sponsored summer camp. (See the Summer Camp Background Check Page for more information.)
