INFORMATIONAL
MEMORANDUM
DFS-11-2007
ISSUED
September 19, 2007
Department of Financial Services
Alex Sink, CFO |
Reduced
Applicant Fingerprint Fees
The
purpose of this memorandum is to notify all insurance applicants of
the fee change for submission of electronic fingerprints.
The
Department of Financial Services has the authority to require a
person to submit a full set of fingerprints to the Department along
with the fee to have the fingerprints processed through the Florida
Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE). The fingerprints are used to
conduct a criminal background record check in accordance with
Section 626.171 (4), Florida Statutes. The current fingerprint
card-processing fee is $62.00. The Federal Bureau of Investigation
(FBI) recently restructured its fees and reduced the fee it charges
to process fingerprints from Florida.
Effective October 1, 2007 the total fingerprint fee for electronic
fingerprint submissions will be $57.25. All fingerprint submissions
made after this date will include the new reduced fee charge.
