In the State of Florida background checks (called "State of Florida Criminal Record Check") are issued by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE), Division of Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS), is the central repository for criminal history information for the state of Florida. These records are public.
Please note that, in order to be apostilled / legalized, these documents need to be notarized.
Please make sure that the receiving foreign authority will accept a state-issued background check. Requirements vary by country and by the purpose for which the document is being submitted, and not all agencies accept background checks issued at the state level.
In many cases, foreign authorities specifically require a federal background check issued by the FBI. Before proceeding, we strongly recommend confirming the exact requirement with the receiving agency to avoid delays or the need to repeat the process.
