I used Maryland Livescan for my fingerprints. They advertise fingerprints for the Florida permit system, but when I submitted my application, I received a letter from the Florida permitting office saying that my fingerprints must be done by a "law enforcement agency", and as such, my Livescan fingerprints aren't acceptable. Has anyone else had this problem?
I called Florida permitting and asked. No go; must be a "law enforcement agency". It can't even be a contracted company on behalf of an agency.
Must be different for out of state applicants, because next friday I have an appointment at the local office of the Florida Department of Agriculture to live scan my fingerprints and submit my application.
Sorry I should have clarified I meant DMV is the only local agency besides private doing prints.
