In order to maintain the highest level of service, and to better meet the needs of criminal history record check customers, Florida's Legislature has implemented a change to criminal history record check fees. Effective July 1st, 2003 the fee for public requests is $23.

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. In addition to maintaining criminal history information, it is our responsibility to provide public access to this information when requested.

State and national criminal history information is available to governmental agencies for licensing and employment as required under Florida law. If you need more information on this, you may contact the agency that governs the type of employment in which you are interested. For example, if you are interested in working for an elementary school, you would contact the local school district; if you are interested in a concealed weapon permit, you would contact the Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services/Division of Licensing where this licensing occurs. To determine if a criminal history check is required in your situation, you can search the Florida Statutes for specific laws on the Florida Legislature's web site On-Line Sunshine. ( http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/index.cfm ).
Both state and national information are also available to organizations that can qualify for this information under federal law. To learn more about what is required for an organization to become qualified, please see our
Volunteer and Employee Background Check information.
