In the world of 2026 fingerprinting, “exclusivity” is the word of the day. For many New York and Florida professionals, the biggest hurdle isn’t taking the prints—it’s knowing who is legally allowed to submit them.
IdentoGO (by IDEMIA) holds exclusive contracts with specific state agencies. This means those agencies have formally mandated IdentoGO as the sole provider for their applicants. When an exclusive contract exists, the client has no choice, and neither do you as an independent provider: the submission must go through IdentoGO.
The Prime Example: Florida Insurance License Applicants
The Florida Department of Financial Services (DFS) is the gold standard of exclusivity. By administrative code, these applicants must submit through IdentoGO and pay the mandated fee (currently $49.50).
-
A Certifix location cannot process this.
-
A Fieldprint location cannot process this.
-
An independent mobile notary cannot process this.
If a client walks in for a Florida insurance license, the most professional move you can make is to direct them to IdentoGO. Attempting to process this through your own platform will lead to a rejected submission and a frustrated client.
When is IdentoGO the Mandatory Answer?
-
Florida Insurance Licensing (DFS): Legally mandated.
-
Specific Agency Directions: If the client’s instruction sheet explicitly names IdentoGO and provides a unique scheduling link.
-
Exclusive ORI Numbers: Certain Originating Agency Identifier (ORI) codes are hard-coded to only accept transmissions from IdentoGO servers.
When Can You Use an Independent Provider?
Don’t assume IdentoGO owns the whole market. You can—and should—use an independent, high-touch professional for:
-
General Background Checks: Most standard employment checks allow for multiple authorized providers.
-
AHCA Healthcare Submissions: Platforms like Certifix are fully authorized for Florida healthcare worker background checks.
-
FBI-Only Submissions: For personal history summaries or federal requirements, independent platforms are often faster and more convenient.
-
Mobile Corporate Events: IdentoGO centers are fixed locations. For group events at a school or office, a mobile professional is the superior choice.
