About this check
School personnel are positions of trust requiring a Level 2 (state + national) fingerprint-based check. Many districts issue their own ORI, so use the exact one your district or the Department of Education provides — prints route to a single agency per submission.
What this ORI needs
- Your district's or the DOE's specific ORI
- A separate submission per district/ORI if you work for more than one

Always confirm the ORI with your requesting agency — some programs use a position-specific code.

Good to know
Do school districts use their own ORI?
Often yes — a district or the Department of Education issues an ORI specific to educator certification or district employment. Use the exact one your district or application gives you.
Is this a Level 2 check?
Yes. School personnel are positions of trust under Florida law and require a Level 2 (state + national) fingerprint-based check.
Can you send results to more than one district?
Prints are routed to a single ORI, so a separate submission is needed per district/ORI. Bring each ORI and we'll handle them.
