How much does the fingerprinting/background check cost?

You are free to shop this. Fingerprinting vendors in Florida charge anywhere from $55 to $105. The only restriction is that the State of Sunshine wants you to use a “Live Scan” vendor, rather than an inky print vendor. If you are in a State or location that does not offer this, your application processing time may be a bit longer. When checking the status of your application, it will show as a “deficiency” until they are processed.
