Electronic fingerprinting mandated

Our firm recently received a bulletin from Ideal Identification’s Mr. Bob Smedley concerning a change in FBI policy relating to criminal background checks.

The FBI has informed the Florida Department of Law Enforcement that effective April 15, 2012, it will no longer accept fingerprint cards submissions for any domestic adoption. While the FBI will continue to take “hard card” fingerprint submissions for international adoption applicants, all domestic adoption applicants must submit their fingerprints electronically by live scan submission.

While this once meant that applicants needed to go to a local live scan site, or to meet personally with Bob, Ideal Identification is now able to mail prospective adoptive parents a Secure Fingerprint Card Scan Package, including FD-258 fingerprint cards, data input sheets with instructions, and a return envelope. So no matter where in the country prospective adoptive parents reside, if they are working on a Florida adoption, Ideal Identification can help them complete their criminal background screenings.

For more information, call our firm or call Bob directly toll-free at 866-288-6543. P.S. Bob is a great guy. If you meet him, ask him how he knows the famous animal activist Jack Hannah! It’s a great story.

Client Testimonials

  • This law firm is great! Everyone is friendly and helpful. Karen is awesome at staying on top of things. Unlike many law firms that don't call you back, this law firm makes sure that communication is their standard. I have had the pleasure of using Karen's, and Mary's services. All are very professional, kind, knowledable, and I've had nothing but pleasant experiences with this firm. I have recommended them to others and will continue to recommend their services.

  • We used Brandon Family Law Center for on two occasions, a guardianship and an adoption. In both cases the staff was professional and attentive to our inquiries and requests. We will definitely use this law firm for our legal needs, in the future.
