Effective July 1, 2020, FDLE will discontinue the use of Florida Criminal History Information Request forms via mail. For alternative electronic methods, visit Florida Criminal History Record Check.
State and national criminal history information is available to governmental agencies for licensing and employment as authorized under Florida law. For additional information, 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.
