A few tips for the fingerprinting process:
- You must bring a picture ID - a Florida Driver's License is preferred.
- Very important - Provide the Originating Agency Identification (ORI) Number - FL923990Z (the "0" before the "Z" is a zero) to the fingerprinting agency. This will insure that the FDLE returns the report to the Orange County Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller (Clerk) for use in your name change case.
- Be prepared to pay fees:
- $24.00 for the state portion
- $16.50 for the national portion
- There may be other fees from the vendor
- A Transaction Control Number (TCN) will be issued upon getting your fingerprints done. KEEP this number for your records; it will likely be needed to make an online payment for the background check.
The results of the background check will be sent directly to the Orange County Clerk of Court.
