My educational background is in Software Engineering and Web Development. I have a passion for solving business problems and delivering a quality service experience for my customers.
We started Sarasota Fingerprints during Covid when everything was shut down and it was difficult to get healthcare employees fingerprinted efficiently and quickly in our area.
Now several years later we have continuously expanded our services to include many different types of fingerprint capture and background screening.
Getting fingerprinted can be overwhelming so I strive to make every fingerprinting session enjoyable and relaxing.
An ORI Number serves as a digital address used by the state to ensure that your results are directed to the appropriate regulatory agency for review. It is mandatory to have an ORI Number for scanning purposes. If you're unsure about your ORI number, you can obtain the correct information from your employer, licensing authority, or regulatory agency.

LiveScan Fingerprinting is a digital fingerprinting process in which fingerprints are taken using an electronic scanner, rather than the traditional ink-and-paper method. The fingerprints are then transmitted electronically to the appropriate agency, such as a law enforcement agency or government agency, for background check and identification purposes. This process is typically faster and more accurate than traditional fingerprinting methods.
