Fingerprints

Note: If you are a current licensee with the Florida Division of Alcoholic Beverages & Tobacco you are not required to submit a new set of fingerprints with your application unless you have been arrested since your prior submission of fingerprints to the division. If you are not a current licensee but have been fingerprinted for this division in the past three (3) years, and you have not been arrested since that time, you are not required to submit new fingerprints unless the prior application was withdrawn or non-consummated. Applicants whose fingerprints are returned to the division as illegible will be required to submit a second set of fingerprints.

Applicants must use a Livescan vendor that has been approved by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to submit their fingerprints to the department. Costs associated with the fingerprint process will be collected by the vendor. Vendor options and contact information can be viewed at Livescan Device Vendors List (Livescan Device Vendors List). Please ensure that the Originating Agency Identification (ORI) number for the Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco is provided to the vendor when you submit your fingerprints.
