DCF fingerprinting for Orlando childcare and family service roles
DCF fingerprinting is commonly needed for childcare centers, family service organizations, volunteers, contractors, and owner/operator roles. Because these roles involve children or vulnerable populations, applicants are often asked to complete Florida Level 2 background screening before work begins.
The most important step is using the correct routing information from DCF, your childcare employer, or the organization requesting the background check. A small routing mistake can send results to the wrong place or require another visit.
