FREC — Florida Real Estate Commission
Fingerprinting for real estate brokers, sales associates, and instructors through the Florida Real Estate Commission.
FREC applicants in Florida need a Level 2 Live Scan — a fingerprint-based FDLE (state) and FBI (national) background check submitted under ORI FL920010Z, with a $36 government fee. Provn captures your prints in about 15 minutes and transmits them to FDLE within 24 hours, with an instant TCN for tracking.
Who needs FREC fingerprinting
Applicants and renewers for Florida professional and occupational licenses — real estate, construction, community association managers, home inspectors, cosmetology, CPAs, and the many other boards DBPR oversees.
About this check
DBPR requires a fingerprint-based background check with most licensure applications. Because FBI rules forbid sharing prints between professions, each license needs its own submission under the correct ORI — so hold one appointment per license you're pursuing.
What this ORI needs
- The ORI for your specific license type (they differ by board)
- Fingerprints submitted within your application's window
- Any application or transaction number your board issued
Always confirm the ORI with your requesting agency — some programs use a position-specific code.
What you need
- A valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID
- This ORI:
FL920010Z - About 15 minutes of your time — Walk-ins welcome
Always confirm the ORI with your requesting agency — some programs use a position-specific code.

Good to know
Do I need separate fingerprints for each license?
Yes. FBI rules prohibit sharing prints between professions or agencies — each license needs its own submission under the correct ORI. If you hold multiple licenses, book one appointment per ORI.
How long are the results good for?
Most Florida licensing boards want prints submitted within a set window of your application. Your board's instructions state the timeframe — when in doubt, get printed close to when you apply.
Can I walk in, or do I need an appointment?
Both work — we take walk-ins 7 days a week and appointments online. Bring your photo ID and the ORI shown above.
